The mastabas of Ti and Ptahotep/Akhethotep

In the north part of central Saqqara, about 500m northwest of Djoser's pyramid are two very beautifully decorated mastabas. That of Ti, overseer of the pyramids of Niuserre and Neferirkare, and a few hundred meters just south is the double mastaba Ptahotep and Akhethotep, father and son. These mastabas are not normally on the tourist track but I highly recommend visiting them.
