In the game
In The Curse of the Pharaohs, Bayek visits the terraced temple under the cliffs while chasing a stolen relic.
The real place
Hatshepsut's three-terraced temple, cut into the cliffs of Deir el-Bahari, has been restored by Polish teams since 1961. Many of her images were deliberately erased after her death.
Visiting
There is almost no shade, so go first thing in the morning. A small electric train runs from the ticket office to the temple.
