In Egypt .Pyramids were built all over the world, but probably the most famous of them all are the Great Pyramids of Giza, in Giza, Egypt.
over 110 or more pyramids
The ancient Egyptians built over 130 pyramids, primarily as tombs for their pharaohs and significant figures. The most famous of these is the Great Pyramid of Giza, which is one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Pyramids were constructed over several dynasties, with the majority built during the Old and Middle Kingdom periods.
you can see them all over the world but Egypt has the most famous pyramids of all
A step pyramid (in Egypt at least) was the next step after Mastaba, or 'bench' tombs. A step pyramid is basically a set of mastaba tombs set atop each other. There are several examples of this type in Sakharra Egypt. The exterior would be covered with to make the faces smooth but the design did not hold up well. 'True' pyramids use more steps, allowing solid limestone blocks to be used for facing. These held up much better to exposure. Alas, most of the limestone casing of the Great Pyramids was stripped for construction of Mosques and other buildings over several hundred years. Step pyramids were one of the first pyramids ever built while true pyramids were just an improvement. Only one step pyramid was ever built while there are several true pyramids throughout Egypt and the Valley of the Kings.

Pyramids in Egypt were covered in polished white limestone to reflect the rays of the sun and shine brightly, symbolizing the Pharaoh's connection to the gods and the afterlife. This smooth casing also symbolized the perfection and eternal nature of the pharaoh's rule in the eyes of ancient Egyptians.

At one time the pyramids were covered in limestone.
Polished white limestone.
over 100 pyramids
The first Egyptian pyramids were originally covered in smooth white Tura limestone, giving them a bright appearance. Over time, the limestone eroded or was removed, leaving the core stones of the pyramids visible, which are a brownish color due to the local sandstone used in construction.
