We basically walked everywhere, but you can also hire a bike which is a great way to see Amsterdam. Everyone speaks very good English too so you will be fine if you get lost.
To be honest if I had 13hours I would just go and enjoy the 'coffee' shops. We spent a whole day at various shops just smoking it up and chatting with people, watching the world go by.
If you get there at night don't miss the red light district, walk around have a look, do some window shopping lol. The sex shows are a bit of a rip off but an experience and don't try taking pics of the ladies in the windows you may get beaten down.
Don't be stupid and keep anything when leaving Amsterdam, you are searched vigorously when you leave. We left by train and the amount of people searched and detained was amazing. You're going to Egypt anyway so there is good 'coffee' there too.
