The pyramid of Menkaure is the smallest of the three main pyramids of the Giza pyramid complex, located on the Giza Plateau in the southwestern outskirts of Cairo, Egypt. It is thought to have been built to serve as the tomb of the Fourth Dynasty Egyptian Pharaoh Menkaure. Menkaure's pyramid had an original height of 65.5 meters (215 ft), and was the smallest of the three major pyramids at the Giza Necropolis. It now stands at 61 m (200 ft) tall with a base of 108.5 m (356 ft). Its angle of incline is approximately 51°20′25″. It was constructed of limestone and Aswan granite. The first sixteen courses of the exterior were made of the red granite. The upper portion was cased in the normal manner with Tura limestone. Part of the granite was left in the rough. Incomplete projects such as this pyramid help archaeologists understand the methods used to build pyramids and temples. The descending passage to lower burial chamber is in the 'large apartment' floor, probably original hidden by floor blocks. It is theorised that originally the pyramid was planned to be smaller. The blind alley being the originally planned entrance passage. In the mortuary temple, the foundations and the inner core were made of limestone. The floors were begun with granite and granite facings were added to some of the walls. The foundations of the valley temple were made of stone. Both temples were finished with crude bricks. Reisner estimated that some of the blocks of local stone in the walls of the mortuary temple weighed as much as 220 tons. The heaviest granite ashlars imported from Aswan weighed more than 30 tons. It is assumed that Menkaure's successor Shepseskaf completed the temple construction. An inscription was found in the mortuary temple that said he "made it (the temple) as his monument for his father, the king of upper and lower Egypt." Subsequent architectural additions and two stelae from the Sixth Dynasty suggest that a cult for the Pharaoh was maintained, or was periodically renewed, for two centuries after his death.

This is the smallest pyramid in the three pyramids. Rather spending a lot of money to see inside the pyramids of the huge one. You can check this out. 250 is the amount I spent. You have to walk a little to reach it. But you get a beautiful view inside. If you are a history geek you would love it. What will I see? You will be walking into a narrow path and reaching a place from there you will find the tomb. It's an empty room. You won't find the tomb, it's taken to the museum. It's just an empty room. But if you are curious, go ahead. It's best to go inside because you came all the way to see pyramids, it's best to go inside atleast one of the pyramids.

It is spectacular area. Absolutely amazing. You have to behold another side of pyramid and leave from that zone. When we arrived there we could not have believed view of back side pyramids. We went to there by horse cars. Ways were dusty and half of way was soil, first half way you feel comfortable because way is cemently.

Visited 8 October 2022. The Giza Plateau is included in the Cairo Pass. The third and smallest of the pyramids. It is the furthest away from the main entrance and therefore does receive less foot traffic. Head to this pyramid if you don't want throngs of tourists and scamming hawkers with their camels and horses. It is about a twenty minute walk from the main entrance. Unfortunately the day we visited the Pyramid was closed so we could not enter. There are good vistas of the bigger pyramids from the funerary Temple in front as well as great views of the three smaller Queens pyramids. Note the casing stones around the perimeter of the pyramid at ground level.
