N/A
The Pyramid of Sahure is a late-26th-to-25th century BC pyramid complex built for the Egyptian pharaoh Sahure of the Fifth Dynasty. Compared to the monuments of the preceding Fourth Dynasty, the enormity of these constructions was dramatically reduced (only 47 m hight)

One of the three major pyramids in the area known as Abusir. Rarely visited and only accessible by car or taxi. Unless the planned visitor centre has been completed and opened in recent years, you will either need to pay 'Baksheesh' to the guards in the area to gain entry through the main entrance or trek across the desert to reach this area.
an amazing historical place
Amazing view
Very little tourist traffic as it requires prior permission from the authorities who will accompany you to the site. Pyramid is not open to tourists.
The guard at the entrance asked for EGP200 each person for allowing us to enter this unopened site! Though there is room for negotiation we did not pay and give up as we did not want to encourage bribery.
Spent there some of the best time of my life...
Although there is not much left of the Abusir pyramids ... I loved seeing what's left.
