I'd make the trip out to Giza to see the pyramids (it's basically on the edge of Cairo now which seemed very odd to me as all the pictures you ever see are taken looking away from the city out into the desert). The Egyptian Museum is also worthwhile. Traffic is crazy, but if you need to cross a street just cross beside a local (they'll probably be trying to convince you to come with them to their perfume or papyrus shop anyway).
