Saqqara - Egypt

Unas was the last king of the 5th dynasty
and choose to build his pyramid near the southwest corner of Djoser's complex.
It is the smallest pyramid from the old kingdom, but the finest in terms of bas reliefs.
Unas ruled Egypt for ~32 years.
On the south side of the ramp, at the first bend there are two boat pits lined with limestone.
The causeway terminates near the ticket entrance of the Saqqara necropolis and the recently reconstructed Valley Temple.
