Abu Ghurab

is a 5th dynasty (Old Kingdom, 2465-2323 BC) Egyptian pyramid and solar temple complex on the Saqqara plateau. There were probably as many as five or six tombs here, but only two survive, one built by the first 5th dynasty Pharaoh Userkaf (ruled 2465-2458 BC), and one built by the Pharaoh Niuserre (ruled 2416-2392 BC, who also built a pyramid at Abu Sir).
