The Abu Roash pyramids, located just north of Giza, are notable for being the site of the unfinished pyramid of Pharaoh Djedefre, who was a son of Khufu. This pyramid is unique because it features an unusual design, with its base not aligned perfectly with the cardinal points, setting it apart from other more famous pyramids. Additionally, the site offers insights into the transition of pyramid construction techniques during the Fourth Dynasty. Although less well-known, the pyramids of Abu Roash contribute to our understanding of ancient Egyptian architecture and royal burial practices.
