It’s no secret that the Ancient Egyptians were a secretive people. The civilization that created the imposing pyramids and worshiped a plethora of gods is still one of the biggest mysteries of our day. Books, documentaries and conspiracy videos have been made on the subject — a proof that Ancient Egypt still captures our attention, thousands of years after its collapse.
This fall, the fascinating civilization comes to DC thanks to VR. Horizon of Khufu sheds light on the funeral rites of the time period, the breathtaking architecture of the pyramids and the stunning landscapes of Ancient Egypt.

Horizon of Khufu
The Giza necropolis, up-close and personal
Booking a plane ticket to Egypt couldn’t give you the experience of Horizon of Khufu. At this new VR experience, you’ll be transported to 1500 B.C., at the very heart of the Giza plateau. As soon as you put on your headset, it’s like a new universe takes shape before your very eyes. The sun glistens over the Nile River and the palm trees that line its banks… It’s a magical experience from the very beginning.
Created in collaboration with Harvard egyptologists
Throughout the adventure, you’ll be guided by a virtual guide to witness the mysteries of Ancient Egypt. Created in association with egyptology professor Peter Der Manuelian and his team at Harvard, Horizon of Khufu uses real data and historical knowledge to guide their VR experience. If you’ve ever wanted to be a fly on the wall in Ancient Egypt, this may just be your chance!
