Haram el-Shawaf ( _ar. حرم الشواف) ("The Sentinel"), located in south Saqqara in Egypt, is a pyramid complex built by Djedkare Isesi and was originally called "Beautiful is Djedkare-Isesi". The complex includes the main pyramid, a satellite pyramid and an associated pyramid which is probably that of his unnamed consort, and is hence known as "The Pyramid of the Unknown Queen".
