The Pyramid of Khafre was built to house the king Khafre, who was the son of Khufu, who built the Great Pyramid.
It's actually smaller than the Great Pyramid, but sits on higher bedrock, which makes it look taller.
It still retains part of its original casing of white limestone near the top.
It's attached to the Valley Temple and the Sphinx.

Luxor: Charles Bray took this picture of “Pyramid shaped Mountain” peak above the Valley of the Kings. The tombs of New Kingdom pharaohs in the Valley of the Kings were built into the rock below as you see in the picture a pyramid-shaped peak. The people of ancient Egypt struggled to protect the bodies of their kings and any possessions and riches that were entombed with them. After the pyramids of the Old and Middle Kingdoms were plundered, most Egyptian pharaohs of dynasties 18 to 20 of the New Kingdom (who ruled around 1570 - 1070 BC) were buried in tombs cut into the solid rock of the Valley of the Kings. This isolated gorge in Western Thebes lay below a natural pyramid-shaped mountain peak. The Egyptian workers toiled in the heat of the barren valley to dig and decorate tombs of outstanding beauty. Staircases, corridors and chambers were cut deep into the rock. But the unimaginable riches left in the tombs were too much of a temptation for thieves whose greed outweighed any fear of retribution from their divine rulers or the gods.
