The pyramids are supposed to be a pretty big letdown because of the huge crowds and the fact that Cairo is basically all around them so it’s not the placid image you see in pictures (the Taj Mahal is supposed to be similar), but there is a ton of other archeology in Egypt that I would definitely go for.
I’ll add another: I’d go to Egypt to see the pyramids regardless who built them, if I could afford it
