A West Bank morning and East Bank afternoon

- 09:30 Visit Deir al-Bahari, the Temple of Hatshepsut.

Why use a driver here
The West Bank sites are spread out, shade is scarce, and walking between them is not practical. A driver also lets you leave early and return when it gets hot. From June to August, try to finish outdoor sites by mid-morning.
Your driver is not a guide. For the tombs and temples, consider a licensed Egyptologist as well.
