Set on a sandy ridge, these three pyramids sit providing an insight into the minds of the pharaohs who built them some 4000 years ago. Small they may be, but they are still impressive and the Morturay Temples have provided a wealth of information in the form of preserved Papyri which is still being studied at the British Museum in London.

As recently as 1998 a discovery of a 6th century BC cemetery containing undisturbed tombs has provided yet more knowledge of ancient Egypt.
