Pyramids at Giza at sunrise are actually worth the hype, smaller museums felt meh but the main sites hit hard.
Crazy vibrant city, food is unreal if you like bold spices. Expect noise and honking, but the energy kept us awake and exploring.
Start major museums right when they open, afternoons get packed. Also bring cash, some tickets lines/terminals glitch and there are cheap late-entry slots.
Crowds were intense at major spots, but wandering side streets gave real glimpses of daily life. Not a polished tourist city, and I loved that.
Use the metro for long runs, but for short hops use Careem or Uber. Avoid white cabs that refuse meters, always agree price or insist on meter.
