Pyramid of Sahure — Attraction in Giza

The Pyramid of Sahure is located in the Abusir necropolis and was built for Pharaoh Sahure, the second ruler of the Fifth Dynasty, around 2480 BC.

The pyramid itself, although much smaller than those of the Old Kingdom, originally stood about 47 meters high and was built using a core of limestone blocks. While the outer casing of fine white limestone has largely eroded or been removed, remnants of the pyramid’s complex architecture still remain.

Pyramids are closed and honestly not worth it. The guards (his license pictured) wanted a very large bribe to get in. If you desperately want in, pay them 100 each.
