There are three pyramids in Giza~

  1. The Pyramid of Menkaura: 213 feet tall
  2. The Pyramid of Khaefra: 471 feet tall
  3. The "Great" Pyramid of Khufu: 481 feet tall
The "Great" Pyramid of Khufu is the tallest pyramid in Giza and throughout Egypt.

Last year I visited all these sites with the help of Complete Egypt. It is a very famous local travel agency in Egypt.

Step Pyramid at Saqqara, built for King Zoser in 2750 BC yes in Egypt.

The first pyramidal structures were in Mesopotamia. These ziggurats were actually step pyramids, rather than the smooth-sided shape of a classic pyramid. As far as I know Egypt was the first location of the smooth-sided pyramid.

No, it was really one of the last pyramids ever built in Ancient Egypt. Then Egypt got out of its old society and in to the new one.
