Khufukhaf was a son of Pharaoh Khufu, half-brother of pharaoh Djedefre and full brother of pharaoh Khafra and prince Minkhaf.[2] His mother might have been Queen Henutsen; the latter's pyramid is next to his mastaba tomb.[3] His wife was named Nefertkau II and she was buried with him in Giza.[4][5]
He served as vizier, possibly towards the end of Khufu's reign or during his brother Khafra's reign.
Khufukhaf had a double mastaba in Giza (tomb G 7130-7140) in the east field which is part of the Giza Necropolis.[2] Mastaba G 7130 is attributed to Khufukhaf's wife Nefertkau. G 7140 belonged to Khufukhaf himself. Khufukhaf is depicted with Queen Henutsen in the Hall of the Mastaba. Several sons are mentioned as well.[4] A son named Wetka (also called Tuka) is depicted in the chapel of the mastaba. Another son named Iuenka (or Iun-ka) is depicted in the chapel as well. Iunka is given the title of King's Son in the tomb.[6][7] Khufukhaf also had a daughter.[8]
