I recently did have another stopover and just guided myself as I have been in Egypt before and seen the sights. Stayed at the IC, not really great hotel but its Egypt. Its also next to the museum. Best value I had there is that they arranged a mercedes with driver for 4 hours for 20 euro to take me to the pyramids. I didn't bother to negotiate.
The pyramids are always a hassle but a good guide book and a car to drive you around there is great and all you need. few tips:
- Ignore everything and everyone past the gate with security check (it's all fake)
- Walk towards the sphinx first, its down near the city.
- After strolling around the pyramids have the car drive you to the panorama, You can see the 3 largest pyramids in one view here.
