hire a taxi for the day(100EGP- 15euro) and visit Memphis/Saqqara/Dahshur and later in the afternoon Gyza.
MEMPHIS(about 30 km south of Cairo) was the capitol of Egypt. The city no longer exists but you have to see the huge Ramses statue. This sphinx (8m long and 4m tall) has nothing to do with the Great Sphinx of Giza, but it's worth a pic :)

Then go to SAKKARA for The Step Pyramid of Zoser(some say the first building in the history still in view!) and some other interesting sights and then to DAHSHUR for the Bent or the Red Pyramid (both pyramids, and other collapsed ones, are on a wide open plain).

Now it's time for GYZA! Tree Pyramids – Cheops, Chephren and Mycerinus and the Sphinx. You'll find info in every guide book so I only suggest you to take your time here(took me hours) and enjoy the only one of the Seven Wonders of Ancient World that is still in our world! Hire a horse or a camel but watch out for the prices...

Directions: Bus. N355 goes at Giza but a taxi would be better especially if you do what I did visiting other places too
