Hi - keen to visit Pyramids with my dad and daughters - we have max 6 days which many people say is too long - but I don;t just want to dash to the Pyramids, take pix and go! Has anyone stayed 5-6 days and how did you fill your time please? My dad is 83, quite fit but I need to be careful how much we do each day. Also - any lovely hotel recommendations please - my back packing days are long over! Thanks.

in the beginning welcome to Egypt, and I don't want you to be worry about your trip greater Cairo is very safe, but to be honest you may face some incoveniances during your trip to the pyramids and that because it is not properly organized and no control regarding to the behaviour of the poeple working in the area who Rent hourses and such transplantation means and from the p oeple who selling souviniurs
so my recommendation is to organise your trip with well know tour agents like Thomas cook or use one of the close trusted egyptian friends to you or your friends
this will prevent a lot of annoying issues
the best hotel in this area is Mena house
for the rest of the period that you are welling to stay in Cairo I recommend to visit the citadel, Khan El khalili, Nile boats and downtown
I hope I suffiecntly answered you question
