Egyptians basically depended on their land itself for all their constructional needs. Egypt as we know is a sandy desert, but what lies under its hot red sands is a rocky terrain. The Nile passes through a canyon and deep gorge , if you don't believe my previous sentence.

Now to the question, THE PYRAMIDS outer covering was of PURE LIMESTONE. It is now almost eroded (otherwise you could have scraped it out for some business_ been a millionaire by now). Even the stone blocks used are limestone and were later in sandstone.
