- 5 Reviews
The Pyramid of Queen Meritites I (G1-b) is located in the Giza East Field, adjacent to the Great Pyramid of Giza. This pyramid, constructed during Egypt's Fourth Dynasty, is the central one among the three queen pyramids near the Great Pyramid. With a base of 50 meters and an original height of 30 meters, it sits just south of Pyramid G1-a. While most scholars, including Mark Lehner and Rainer Stadelmann, attribute it to Queen Meritites I, Zahi Hawass suggests it may belong to an unidentified queen of Khufu, possibly the mother of Djedefre. It is part of a cluster of smaller pyramids in the area, which also includes G1-a, G1-c, and the lesser Pyramid G1-d.

Great experience

It is the 2nd of the small pyramids in front of the great pyramid. It is worth visiting this place for those who do not want to stand in line to descend to the great pyramid.

Climbing to the top of the Pyramids is no longer permitted but from this pyramid you can stand on and guage the size of the massive blocks of rock from which it's constructed.
