Sun temple of Nyuserre, Sun temple in Egypt
The Sun temple of Nyuserre is an ancient Egyptian temple dedicated to the sun god Ra.
Constructed during the 5th Dynasty, under the reign of King Nyuserre Ini, it's one of the few sun temples that have been discovered.
The temple architecture signifies the pharaoh's role as a mediator between gods and humans.
Located in the vicinity of Abu Ghurab, near Cairo, the site is accessible to visitors interested in Egyptology.
Unlike many other Egyptian temples, the Sun temple of Nyuserre was exclusively devoted to the cult of the sun god.
