I have a 6 hour layover in Cairo. Is that long enough to see the pyramids?

Travel Tips

border line, i would say no cause the distance between the airport and the pyramids is rather long and traffic in cairo is catastropical and u will need to be back in the airport at least 2 hours before departure.
Others

yes, take a taxi(cab) from the airport, i think it gonna take half an hour from the airport to the pyramids
Well it depends.....'theoretically' you have enough time, but alot depends on the time of day that you are there....I assume you are on a U.S. or western passport? If so it takes a good 30-45 minutes to get out of the airport etc. Then depending on the traffic at least an hour to get to Giza...you can pretty much get an overview of everything in a couple hours...and again depending on the traffic, another hour back to the aiport and get to the terminal etc....The morning till about 10-11 the traffic is bad as always, but not toooo bad, if youre there in the evening, I wouldnt recommend it.....hope it works out for you.
Cairo is a big city......the traffic is horrendous, we recently went from dokki to downtown & it took us over an hour, could have walked it in a lesser time! If your "layover" is close to the Pyramids then you will have no problem, 6 hours will be ample time!
NO !! don't take the risk .. it might be rush hour then it will take u 2 hours n the way , the distance between the airport and the pyramids is long
i think you have enough time but a point here pyramids area close 5pm.so after 5 pm you cant tuch pyramids.but at night they turn light on pyramids and it be beautiful.hope you enjoy.and you can use (round motor way) it will be faster.
the guys told you the truth , too risky but it deserves it
