Busiris (Greek: Βούσιρις) or Aphroditopolis was an ancient city of Middle Egypt, in the Aphroditopolite nome, on the west bank of the Nile, southwest of Aphroditopolis (the modern city of Atfih).
Aphroditopolis is located 38 miles upstream from Cairo, near the ruins of Memphis, Egypt.
All that remains of the city is mounds and ruins, which were excavated by Matthew Flinders Petrie.
The city was known as Tpyhwt during pharaonic times, Βούσιρις (Busiris) in Hellenistic times, Aphroditopolis during the Byzantine and Roman Empires, Petpeh in Coptic, and since the Islamic conquest as Atfih.
