One of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World at your fingertips
From dawn on the Giza Plateau, with the Great Pyramid on the horizon, the virtual reality tour allows you to explore areas of the famous necropolis closed to the public. After admiring the Great Sphinx and sailing down the Nile, this journey into the past culminates in the funeral and embalming of Cheops (Jufu, in Egyptian), pharaoh of the Fourth Dynasty.
The Horizon of Cheops was designed in collaboration with the Egyptology team at Harvard University, following years of research and technological development to recreate in the finest detail the architecture and history of the site and the civilization that inhabited it thousands of years ago.
An experience designed for all audiences
The specialized nature of The Horizon of Cheops is not a barrier, but rather an incentive to experience it—an experience that can be enjoyed by history and archaeology enthusiasts alike, as well as by curious minds eager for a cultural outing that’s a little out of the ordinary.
The youngest members of the family are also welcome on this educational and entertaining journey, butthey must be at least 10 years old and at least 1.30 meters tall.
