 This is actually Hatshepsut Temple near the valley of the Kings (Luxor, Egypt) It was built around 3500 years ago which just blows my mind!! The guides all call it Hot Chicken Soup because it's easier to remember that :)

From Wikipedia:
The Mortuary Temple of Queen Hatshepsut, the Djeser-Djeseru ("Holy of Holies"), is located beneath the cliffs at Deir el Bahari on the west bank of the Nile near the Valley of the Kings in Egypt. The mortuary temple is dedicated to the sun god Amon-Ra and is located next to the mortuary temple of Mentuhotep II, which served both as an inspiration, and later, a quarry. It is considered one of the "incomparable monuments of ancient Egypt."

A splendid natural backdrop for an equally exceptional temple. The tiny tourists lend an important sense of scale.
