Time of day: Arrive early morning (around opening time, 8 am) or late afternoon for fewer crowds and softer light for photography.

History of the Pyramid of Khafre

Built by Pharaoh Khafre

The Pyramid of Khafre was built around 2570 BC during Egypt’s 4th Dynasty by Pharaoh Khafre, son of Khufu, the builder of the Great Pyramid. It is the second-largest pyramid on the Giza Complex.

Purpose and design

The pyramid was planned as Khafre’s royal tomb and serves as the centrepiece of a full funerary complex, including a Mortuary Temple, Valley Temple, and a 494-meter covered causeway.

Burial Chamber

The pyramid’s two descending passages lead to a single burial chamber intended to hold Khafre’s sarcophagus. No treasures remain, as they were removed long ago, but the chamber itself survives.

Religious significance

The pyramid embodied Khafre’s divine authority as Horus on Earth and was designed to ensure his safe passage to the afterlife, reflecting Old Kingdom funerary beliefs.

Legacy and influence

Its intact apex casing stones, steeper slope, and integrated temple complex represent an evolution in pyramid design that influenced later royal tombs.

Not recommended for those with mobility issues, claustrophobia, or respiratory conditions.
Photography is often restricted; check the current on-site rules.

Backpack, water bottle, and leather boots on forest floor for hiking and camping.

Safety & comfort

The temperature inside is cooler, but the air can be stuffy — bring water.
Wear sturdy shoes with a good grip; floors can be uneven.
Bags and large cameras may need to be left outside or with security.

Interesting facts about the Pyramid of Khafre

Second-largest at Giza: Built c. 2570 BC but appears taller than Khufu’s because of its higher ground.
Original casing stones survive: The white Tura limestone still visible at the apex is a rare remnant of how all pyramids once looked.
Two entrances: Unusually, it has two descending passages that meet in one burial chamber.
Complex design: The pyramid is part of a full funerary complex with Mortuary Temple, Valley Temple, a long causeway, and the Great Sphinx.
Linked to the Sphinx: Most scholars believe Khafre commissioned the Great Sphinx as part of his complex.
Oldest surviving diorite statue: A famous diorite statue of Khafre was found in the Valley Temple and now sits in the Egyptian Museum in Cairo.
