[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
With a height of 143.5m and only 3m smaller than Kheops', the pyramid of Khefren is the second tallest to have been built in Egypt. Khefren built his pyramid on a higher part of the Giza plateau, which makes his pyramid look higher. This kind of Peugeot cars are very common in Cairo area, most of the taxis in Cairo are just this kind of Peugeots with the exception that the taxis are painted in black-and-white.
