Review & FAQ:

Located 1.2 miles north of Saqqara, Abusir has several solar temples located throughout the site, although those of Userkaf and Niuserre are the only two to have been located. The site was easily accessible by boat via Abusir Lake and was used by the Memphite nobility until the end of the pharaonic era. There are two royal pyramids on site as well as other smaller pyramids. Paid tours of the sites are available.
