Cairo on a layover

I am getting a very good deal ($1300 OW) in J from BOM to JFK on Egypt Air. Comes with a 22 hr layover in Cairo. I would like to get the visa on arrival and explore the pyramids in giza, visit the cairo museum and maybe the bazaar using a guided tour.

However, the US state department advises against travel to Egypt. So that got me a bit worried. Is Egypt generally safe? If I proceed with this itinerary, could it cause challenges upon my return to the US? I am a US Citizen with global entry.
