The Pyramid of Khafre, also known as the Pyramid of Chephren, stands at an impressive 446 feet (136 meters) tall, its apex still encased in the white limestone that once adorned all three Giza Pyramids. Built by Pharaoh Khafre, son of Khufu, it appears taller than the Great Pyramid of Giza due to its elevated position on higher ground. Visitors can marvel at the pyramid’s imposing structure and the remnants of its original casing, offering a glimpse into the grandeur of ancient Egyptian architecture.
