The Horizon of Cheops, a journey to ancient Egypt

Khéops Horizon was first presented at the Institut du Monde Arabe in 2022, followed by the opening of various dedicated venues. This immersive virtual reality experience is now available at Éclipso Bordeaux.

An immersive journey

The Khéops Horizon experience offers the chance to explore the Giza plateau and every nook and cranny of one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World: the Pyramid of Khéops. Thanks to the magic of technology, virtual explorers are transported 2,600 years back in time to the funeral of King Khufu himself, offering an emotional immersion in the heart of ancient Egypt.

 

A discovery thanks to virtual reality

Equipped with a state-of-the-art immersive device – a connected VR headset at the cutting edge of innovation – participants are instantly transported to the foot of Egypt’s highest pyramid. Welcomed by Mona, their guide, as the sun sets, they are guided through this 45-minute virtual tour, discovering the pyramid’s architectural mastery and its many mysteries.

 This expedition offers an innovative, instructive, fun, sensory and poetic experience, suitable for all ages, enabling participants to discover the life of the Egyptians of the 4th Dynasty. On the program: a flight over the Giza Plateau, an effortless ascent to the summit of the Great Pyramid offering a breathtaking 360° panorama, exploration of the corridors and burial chambers including the very secret Queen’s Chamber, discovery of an embalming ceremony and even a boat trip on the Nile to attend the funeral of King Khufu.
