Eight hour layover in Cairo
I have an 8 hour layover in Cairo. Am flying business onto Dubai with bags interlined.
An Egyptian work colleague has offered for his cousin to collect me in CAI and bring me to the Giza pyramids & Sphinx - is this doable to make a round trip and get back in time for my connection?
I don't know how crazy the airport is or how long queues typically are to get back airside
Thanks..

You have to be back at Cairo airport three hours before your departure. That leaves you with five hours. Let's say you are out of the airport in two hours after you land. That leaves you with three hours.
You can head straight to the pyramids, walk around for an hour and then head back.
