The Solar Temple of Userkaf

The Sun Temple or Solar Temple of Userkaf is located in Abusir. It was built by the first Pharaoh of the fifth dynasty. The temple is located near the pyramid complex, so it slightly resembles the same figure. However, the similarities end there.

The Temple of the Sun is an independent building. The most visited and important place in the temple was the square with the obelisk. It is a center of sacrifice and worship. The remains of the statue of the pharaoh are buried here. Next in detail: rocks, a piece of alabaster depicting the mouth and chin of the Pharaoh. From the temple there are only bones, and yet, in Abusir you will find the pyramids of Sahur, Neuserra, Neferirkar, the tombs of Ptahshepses, Jufaa. A reliable way to see the pyramid complex is by touring, but a network of buses can be found in the city. Another option is a navigator and a rented car.
