Abusir Necropolis

Abusir is an Old Kingdom royal necropolis between Giza and Saqqara, best known for the Fifth Dynasty pyramid complexes of kings such as Sahure, Neferirkare and Nyuserre. The site forms part of the wider UNESCO-listed Memphis and its Necropolis cultural landscape. Unlike Giza and Saqqara, Abusir is not managed as a straightforward mass-visitor attraction with a consistently published public schedule, and access to individual pyramid and temple areas can depend on archaeological and local conditions.
