A mastaba is a type of partially subterranean tomb, similar to modern mausoleums, that was made of stone and exclusively reserved for nobility. Mastabas predate the pyramids by several hundred years, but even after the Pharaohs began to commission pyramids for themselves, royal family and courtiers were still buried in mastabas, often near the pyramid of the pharaoh they were associated with.

Where would you be buried if you are not a pharaoh?
Royal queens, princes and princesses might have their own mini-pyramid near the pyramid of the pharaoh. Noblemen and women, priests, officials and wealthy people were usually buried in a "mastaba"-type tomb, or a hidden chamber in a group of similar burials. Ordinary people (the huge majority of the ancient Egyptian society) would simply be buried in a grave in the desert, perhaps along with a few pottery containers, a pair of sandals and some food offerings - with no coffin, no mummification, no inscriptions. Ironically, desert burials often preserved bodies just as effectively as mummification, since the sand and natural minerals dried the body quite quickly and preserved skin and organ tissues.
