Niuserra was the 6th Pharao of the 5th Dynasty. His pyramid is one of the 4 in Abusir, but about 1 Km North West of the other 3. Access is however even more difficult. It is made of more regular blocks, but many are missing. The Sun Temple in front of Sahure's Pyramid is the more prominent of Sahure's monuments.

I am living approx. 800 meter from this ancient monument. It one of the most exiting ones, esp. for me. I feel, when I hear the Ghurab (The Craw), that we are in henti amentiu, the beautiful west. The area of the eternal rest or the waiting of resurrection. Abu Sir, next village, comes from Per Osiris, the house of Osiris. The falcons are still flying by. Yes, the place is ruined - but its one of the most impressive, if you just sit an whatch....

Although it is small, Abu Ghorab is a very exciting and interesting site of the ancient Egypt. Pyramid is very damaged unfortunately, but the alabaster altar is amazing, the esoterism enthusiasts affirm it is a dimensional portal capable to transmit energy to oneself, of course it is a matter of opinions. Whatever the point of view is, Abu Ghorab is an astonishing example of ancient technology since there are some stone blocks that show holes that seem having been made with spinning tools such drills which you will find fascinating as well as all stone made recipients with the same kind of holes that some have considered as places for sacrifices of animals since it is known that ancient Egyptians used to kill two oxen and two gees every day to the God Sun in this temple. It was built during the V Dynasty around 2500 years BC. You should not miss the opportunity, talk with your guide.
