A 5th Dynasty double tomb on the southeastern edge of the Abusir necropolis in Egypt, built under King Nyuserre Ini for two female members of the royal family. The eastern tomb measures 27.7 x 21.5 m and the western 21.7 x 15.7 m, with walls inclined at approximately 78 degrees, resembling mastabas more than pyramids. The complex lacked a traditional mortuary temple but featured a small offering chapel of undecorated white limestone. Both tombs had north-south descending passages leading to burial chambers with sarcophagi in western niches. One of the queens may have been Reptynub, Nyuserre's only known consort.
