Khafre’s pyramid has the best-preserved causeway at Giza.
Khafre’s causeway connected his mortuary temple beside the pyramid to the Valley Temple on the lower edge of the plateau. It formed the processional route through the king’s funerary complex, linking the elevated tomb with the Nile-side entrance and ceremonial buildings.
The causeway runs for about 494.6 metres. Much of its original roof and wall decoration has disappeared, but its route and substantial structural remains are clearer than those of Khufu’s causeway, which was largely destroyed or buried beneath later settlement. Khafre’s associated temples also survive unusually well, especially the massive granite-faced Valley Temple.
The answer is sometimes confused with “best-preserved pyramid,” because Khafre’s pyramid retains a conspicuous cap of smooth limestone casing at its summit. The causeway is a separate feature, however. Khafre’s complex is also closely associated with the Great Sphinx, which stands near the lower end of the causeway and is traditionally connected with his reign.
