For those who have been to both, should they be split up in two days? We originally thought to to do the Pyramids and GEM in one day; however, the more we read about how vast the new museum is, the more we wonder if that is almost a day in itself. We are not hiring a guide for this area; we don't want to be rushed through each area, particularly GEM, in an hour and a half which seems to be the norm for most tours.
We are four active adults going to Cairo/Giza for the first time. We all love well done museums but info out on sites like TA say the museum can be 2 hours or it can be 2 days. Big difference so we are trying to zero in some on what makes sense without shortchanging anything. We are staying at the Marriott Mena House so we will be close to both.
