The Pyramid of Merenre was built for Merenre Nemtyemsaf I of Egypt's Sixth Dynasty at Saqqara, about 450 meters southwest of the pyramid of Pepi I and a similar distance from the Pyramid of Djedkare Isesi. Its ancient name is translated as either Merenre's beauty shines or The Perfection of Merenre Appears. Today the monument survives mostly as ruins and is difficult to access, and it is not open to the public.
