Zawiyet el-Aryan is a town in Egypt, located between Giza and Abusir. To the west of the town, just in the desert area, is a necropolis, referred to by the same name. Here there are 2 pyramid complexes. Unusually there are just these 2 complexes, and little else.
The pyramid complexes are known as the Layer Pyramid, and another ruined structure, called the Northern Pyramid. This second complex has not been extensively explored or excavated.
