Pyramid in Upper Egypt (South)

The site has a small step-pyramid of the late 3rd Dynasty, attributed to Pharaoh Huni, remarkable for being the few pyramids built on the east bank of the Nile. The bases measured 22.5 meters and it would have risen to an estimated height of 17 Meters. There are also rock-cut tombs of the late Old Kingdom nearby.
