| Khafre Or Chephren Pyramid, Giza, Near Cairo, Egypt. |
The pyramid of Khafre is very striking because of the remanint of its original white limestone cap or apex. All three of the pyrimids were coated with this beautiful white limestone coating. Originally the Khafre pyrimid was 470 feet high, it now is 446 feet in height. Even so, it is not as high at the Great Pyrimid of Khufu. Khufu was the father of Khafre so perhaps it was in honor to his father that Khafre made his pyramid smaller. This pyramid is renowned for its pyramid complex which is considered to be greater than the other pyramids. The Quality Of our inside pictures is not good, since the guard was very strict as to where we could use flash.

When traveling in Egypt, we learned that you can make reservations for air travel and hotels online and then make your reservations through your hotels Concierge Services Department for tours of the area. This has proven to be safe and secure for us, on our tours of Egypt, as well as in other parts of the world. It also has given us a personal tour at our own pace instead of one of those rushed crowded group tours. Much more fun! We have placed links to Priceline and to InterContinental Hotels Group on this page since they have given us our best deals in Egypt.
