The Enigmatic Bent Pyramid: A Marvel of Ancient Engineering

Getting There

• Car

  If you're driving, start from the center of Giza Plateau, near the Giza Pyramids. Head west on Al Ahram Street (also known as the Pyramids Road) towards the direction of the Sphinx. After passing the Great Pyramid, continue on Al Ahram Street for about 4 kilometers until you reach a major intersection. Turn left onto Al Wahat Road (also marked as Road 23). Follow this road for about 2 kilometers, then turn right onto a smaller road that leads directly to the Bent Pyramid. Look for signs indicating the 'Bent Pyramid' or 'Pyramid of Sneferu'. There is usually parking available near the site, but fees may apply.

• Public Transportation

  To reach the Bent Pyramid via public transportation, take a local bus or minibus from the Giza Plateau area heading towards Badrshein. Buses are frequent and cost-effective, usually around 5 EGP. Inform the driver that you want to get off at the Bent Pyramid stop. Once you disembark, you may need to walk approximately 1 kilometer to reach the site. Follow local signs or ask locals for directions towards the Bent Pyramid. Alternatively, you can also take a taxi from the Giza Plateau directly to the Bent Pyramid; this typically costs around 50 to 100 EGP depending on your starting point.

• Taxi

  If you prefer a more comfortable ride, you can hire a taxi from any location in Giza Plateau. Simply tell the driver you want to go to the Bent Pyramid (قائمة الأهرامات المنحني). The fare will usually range from 50 to 100 EGP. Make sure to agree on the price before getting in. The journey should take around 20 to 30 minutes, depending on traffic. Taxis are a great option if you are traveling in a group or have limited time.
