Built over 4,500 years ago for Pharaoh Khafre, this pyramid is distinguished by its unique design and the remnants of its original smooth casing stones at the summit. Standing at 136 metres, it appears taller than the Great Pyramid due to its higher base on the Giza Plateau.

A visit to this iconic site offers a deeper understanding of ancient Egypt's grandeur and ingenuity.

The Great Sphinx and the Valley Temple of King Khafre are two of Egypt’s most iconic and mysterious landmarks.

It is one of the largest and oldest statues in the world, measuring 73 metres in length and 20 metres in height. Nearby, the Valley Temple of Khafre, a stunning example of ancient Egyptian architecture, was once used for royal funerary rituals.
