This voyage to Punt (also known as "God's land") was a key foreign relations triumph during Hatshepsut's reign. An ancient record of the voyage indicates that it was wildly successful. "The loading of the ships very heavily with marvels of the country of Punt; all goodly fragrant woods of God's-land, heaps of myrrh-resin with fresh myrrh trees, with ebony, and pure ivory, with green gold of Emu."

She made important trading expeditions towards the Kingdom of Punt.

Sinai. She traded Ivory, gold, silver and other goods for eating.
