uk CAPTION(S): AMAZING - far left, the Temple of Hatshepsut and left, a statue at the ancient site FAULTLESS - Movenpick Resort & Spa at El Gouna SO MUCH TO SEE - Mieka visited, from the left, the Colossi of Memnon, the Valley of the Kings and the temple of Philae
It was going to be a busy day; the Temple of Hatshepsut, the Valley of the Queens, the Valley of the Kings and the Colossi of Memnon were all in our day's schedule.
Hatshepsut ruled for 20 years in the guise of a man, so she too proved to have real girl power.
