VIRTUAL REALITY IMMERSION IN HISTORY
The tour begins as day breaks over the necropolis of Giza, the famous Egyptian site that is home to the three great pyramids. In their shadows, the silhouettes of the mastabas can be seen; the tombs of those who were close to the deceased monarchs, their families. You're not alone when you explore these thousand-year-old lands. Accompanied by a virtual guide and other travellers who are as real as you are, you begin by treading the eternal sands of the Giza plateau on the scale of giants, to meet the Sphinx, before making your way to the foot of the pyramid of Khufu at nightfall for a VIP visit.
EGYPTOLOGY AND SCIENTIFIC EXPERTISE
The "Horizon of Khufu" Immersive Expedition has been designed to be as accurate as possible. The experience is the result of several years of on-site research and data collection, in partnership with Peter Der Manuelian, Professor of Egyptology and his team at the Giza Project, Harvard University. We aim to ensure that all the information provided in the experiment is based on architectural, scientific and historical data.
"I look forward to being part of this unique project to make an important part of the Giza pyramid plateau accessible to all."
