Is a long day trip to the pyramids in Egypt worth it?

A couple who visited felt that the pyramids looked much taller and more majestic in person than in photographs; they also spent a long time admiring the Sphinx.

The same couple loved the Grand Museum and its exhibits and did not regret the time spent traveling.

One traveler described an exhausting trip: 6–8 hours to reach the pyramids, walking in the heat and an equally long return journey, followed by severe fatigue the next day.
