2. Khafre's Pyramid
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 1,521 reviews
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.

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.

We were looked after from start to finish - excellent service. We travelled as 2 couples on the Blue Shadow II - we were on the second from top deck and the boat is fabulous - huge rooms, lovely top deck, excellent food in the spacious dining room (buffet-style). Staff are very friendly and attentive - nothing is too much bother. Also we paid tips up front so no issues with that. Our guide was excellent - gave us a full programme overview the night before, arranged all transport, stayed with us on every trip and very knowledgeable. The 4 of us had our guide and driver for every excursion to ourselves - the included ones and the extras. The included tours are comprehensive with a typical day being an early morning tour and back to the boat by noon for lunch, relaxing afternoon watching the Nile go by followed by evening meal. We did the Abu Simbel and balloon rides as extras plus the bird watching (excellent afternoon trip). Abu Simbel is worth the wake up call and 3 hr drive there and back - we left at 04:30, toured the site for 2hrs and back for lunch at 12:30 (our driver was swift!!). The balloon ride is very very gentle with awesome views. We added in an overnight stay in Cairo at the end to see the Pyramids and museum - brilliant experience and well worth the extra day. Orbital have been superb - cannot fault them at all.

Seeing the Great Pyramids of Egypt would be a great highlight in any travelers’ bucket list. We travelled from Cairo to Giza to see these majestic structures. Of the original 7 wonders the ancient world, these are the only one standing. The Giza pyramid complex, is the site on the Giza Plateau consist of the Great Pyramid of Giza also known as the Pyramid of Cheops or Khufu , the Pyramid of Khafre, and the Pyramid of Menkaure, along with their associated pyramid complexes and the Great Sphinx of Giza. They are made of limestone and granite. They were constructed in 2560-2580 BC. The Pyramid of Khufu is huge when you look at it from ground level even at today’s standards. It is possible to enter it. We opted not to enter it because it is known to be empty inside. We were taken to a photo spot where tourists can pose with the 3 pyramids on the background. After the pyramid visit, we went to the sphinx. The Sphinx is a limestone statue of a reclining sphinx, a mythical creature with the body of a lion and the head of a human. The face of the Sphinx is generally believed to represent the pharaoh Khafre. It is a monolith carved into the bedrock of the plateau, which also served as the quarry for the pyramids and other monuments in the area. The body of the lion up to its neck is fashioned from softer layers that have suffered considerable disintegration caused by wind and wind-blown sand. The one-meter-wide nose on the face is missing. Archeologist who performed a study concluded that it was broken with instruments at an unknown time between the 3rd and 10th centuries. This place is packed with tourists from all over the world happily ticking off the pyramids in their bucket list
