The temple of Hapshepsut is an interesting site, but the detail of its history and restoration is best delivered by a guide, and I would hire one. Unless you're a student of Egyptology and already knowledgeable, I think a guide makes visiting both more enjoyable and educational.

According to our guide, Hatshepsut's Temple suffered a lot of damage from an earthquake. Many of the columns fell and roof caved in. The restoration completed so far is fantastic.

hello...yes it did...I think about 50 egp...( approx. 8 AUD )...nearly all tourist sites have an entrance fee. If u go to see Hatshepsut's place do NOT get involved with the 'guides' at the top all too willing to take a picture for u. They will ALL demand a payment for their favour which is normal for Egypt. And run thru the market they channel u thru on way to temple...its full of crap stuff that u wouldn't want. Just smile and say '' no thank u " and keep walking at a good pace. my biggest tip for all of Egypt...lol, do not stop or they will swarm.
