3. Pyramid of Menkaure

   The Pyramid of Menkaure (Mykerinos) The Granite Gem of the Plateau Though the smallest of the three, Menkaure’s pyramid is an architectural treasure.

4. The Pyramid of Khafre (Chephren) The Majestic Peak with the Golden Cap Often mistaken for the Great Pyramid because it sits on higher ground, Khafre’s monument is famous for the original white limestone casing that still clings to its summit. This "cap" gives you a rare glimpse into how the pyramids originally sparkled like polished diamonds under the Egyptian sun.

   The Great Sphinx of Giza The Eternal Guardian of the Horizon Carved from a single massive outcrop of limestone, this legendary creature with the body of a lion and the head of a king (Pharaoh Khafre) is the world’s largest monolithic statue.
