7. Khafre's Pyramid

Next to the Great Pyramid of Khufu, this is the second-largest of the Giza pyramids; Khafre was the son of Khufu.
Reviewed By macedonboy - Glasgow, United Kingdom
Khafre's Pyramid is the second-tallest and second-largest of the Pyramids of Giza complex, shorter than the adjacent pyramid built for Khufu. This one was built for the eponymous Fourth-Dynasty pharaoh. It’s also the only one of the big 3 pyramids that retains some of the original lime plaster that once covered the stones. Like the adjacent pyramids of Menkaure and Khufu, it’s not until you’re right on the pyramid that you see the immensity of the structure. Amazing must see site along with the whole of the pyramid complex.

The largest and oldest of the Giza pyramids, this colossal structure stands nearly 500 feet tall.
Reviewed By raghu67 - Bengaluru, India
The Great Pyramid of Giza also known as the Pyramid of Khufu or the Pyramid of Cheops once among the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, is the oldest and largest of the three pyramids in the Giza pyramid complex. This pyramid was built as a tomb for the Fourth Dynasty Egyptian pharaoh Khufu and was constructed over a period of 20-year period from 2575 -2566 BC. Khufu followed the design of Red Pyramid which was built by his father Sneferu. This Pyramid erected on a rocky plateau had all the elements like the burial chambers, mortuary temple and covered causeways connected to the banks of river Nile. Estimated to be built using around 2,300,000 lime stones weighing around 5.5 million tons , 8,000 tons of Aswan granite and 500,000 tons of mortar, its original height was around 480 feet. But due to erosion of the outer fine lime stone layer and damages caused due to earth quake, the height of this pyramid now stands at around 455 feet.

The Red Pyramid or the North Pyramid was the third pyramid built by Old Kingdom Pharaoh Sneferu, the father of Khufu, who built the Great Pyramid at Giza. It is the largest of the three major pyramids located at the Dahshur necropolis in Cairo, Egypt. Named for the rusty reddish hue of its red limestone stones, it is also the third largest Egyptian pyramid, after those of Khufu and Khafra at Giza. The Red Pyramid was to be first successful attempt to construct a true pyramid, Much less crowded than Giza and one more thing is that you can enter inside the pyramid. There are three Chambers inside the Pyramid. First two chambers are at ground level, while a third chamber is higher, built within the masonry of the pyramid itself.

This impressive monument, carved in honor of an unknown Pharaoh during the 18th Dynasty, is 26 feet long, 13 feet tall and weighs approximately 90 tons.
Reviewed By JMcD202003 - Fishers, United States
As part of our overall tour, we visited the ancient capital of Egypt at Memphis. Although there did not appear to be much in the way of temples or historical sites (the current town probably sits over most of the former site), we did visit the place where there is the Alabaster Sphinx. This is very impressive and still in very good condition. Another item at this location which to me was even more impressive was the lying down statue of Ramses II. Although the bottom portion of both legs is missing, the quality of the sculpture of this famous Pharaoh is one of the best in Egypt. It is made of red granite, highly polished, and is extremely well done. It is so large, you must go up the stairs to a viewing area that looks down onto the statue, The statue and sphinx are a "must-see" for any tour and can be combined with a visit to the step pyramid at "Saqqara".
