Pyramid of Menkaure
The smallest of Cairo’s three main Giza Pyramids, the Pyramid of Menkaure stands with its two counterparts on the Giza Plateau on the southwestern edges of Egypt’s capital. As part of Cairo’s most-visited attraction, this 4,500-year-old tomb is seen by millions of tourists each year.
The Pyramid of Menkaure is one of the three ancient Egyptian pyramids located on the Giza Plateau in the southwestern outskirts of Cairo. It is thought to have been built for Pharaoh Menkaure, the last king of the Fourth Dynasty of ancient Egypt. The pyramid’s base was originally 102.2 meters square and it rose to a height of 65.5 meters. Today, the pyramid is only 61 meters tall due to the loss of its original limestone casing and capstone.
