Khafre's pyramid complex consists of a valley temple, the Sphinx temple, a causeway, a mortuary temple and the king's pyramid. The valley temple yielded several statues of Khafre. Several were found in a well in the floor of the temple by Mariette in 1860

Perfect pyramid private tour
This tour with our amazing guide Essam was incredible. They arrived on time to our hotel, the car was super clean, and we got an excellent driver too. Our guide had a deep historical knowledge about ancient Egypt and he spoke a very good English. I highly recommend to book this tour, ask for Essam.
Overall, wonderful!
Stunning experience! My tour guide was very knowledgeable in the history of the pyramids. Lots of great views, the weather was manageable, and tons of photos.
Great Giza and Sphinx tour!
Great! Mahmet/M. . . (I may have spelled it wrong), but he was great, and his driver too, Abdullah (my new play ! Wonderful time! He explained everything, took me to all the sites, explained the histories, and then took me on local tours of a papyrus, cotton, carpet, and oils businesses, and I got the best gifts! Thanks again for everything guys!
Decent tour.
The guys were great, quite professional, they picked us up in Cairo and took us to see the pyramids. There was a long queue to get the tickets but we got there in the end. Pyramids were nice, a bit smaller than I thought they would be, but nice nevertheless. Would I come back there again? No, but it’s definitely worth seeing once in your lifetime. And honestly you can do without a tour guide if you’re not scared of being in Egypt, (it can be scary sometimes) because the information they they give isn’t groundbreaking, you can definitely read up on the internet. You always need to leave a tip (aka Baksheesh) in Egypt when service is provided, so have some dollars ready with ya.
