Although it is small, Abu Ghorab is a very exciting and interesting site of the ancient Egypt. Pyramid is very damaged unfortunately, but the alabaster altar is amazing, the esoterism enthusiasts affirm it is a dimensional portal capable to transmit energy to oneself, of course it is a matter of opinions. Whatever the point of view is, Abu Ghorab is an astonishing example of ancient technology since there are some stone blocks that show holes that seem having been made with spinning tools such drills which you will find fascinating as well as all stone made recipients with the same kind of holes that some have considered as places for sacrifices of animals since it is known that ancient Egyptians used to kill two oxen and two gees every day to the God Sun in this temple. It was built during the V Dynasty around 2500 years BC. You should not miss the opportunity, talk with your guide.

Abusir and Abu Gorab are both closed for renovations. You need a special permit to access it. If they catch you trying to access the sites from desert side, you will pay 200 dollars fine plus all photos you took will be deleted. Same applies if you bribe to access.

Very nice place

I am living approx. 800 meter from this ancient monument. It one of the most exiting ones, esp. for me. I feel, when I hear the Ghurab (The Craw), that we are in henti amentiu, the beautiful west. The area of the eternal rest or the waiting of resurrection. Abu Sir, next village, comes from Per Osiris, the house of Osiris. The falcons are still flying by. Yes, the place is ruined - but its one of the most impressive, if you just sit an whatch....

Love it

More people need to go here and see the tools they used.

Rarely visited place of the 5th dynasty

You arrive on foot under the loving Egyptian sun at 1pm 😃. In about 20 or 30 minutes, from entering the site. The show is worthy of Egyptian history, but raises new questions...
