About Horizon of Khufu: an immersive expedition to Ancient Egypt

Step into the past with Horizon of Khufu, a groundbreaking VR immersive expedition that transports you back 4,500 years to ancient Egypt during the Fourth Dynasty. Developed with Harvard University's leading Egyptologist, this intimate experience lets you explore the Great Pyramid of Giza as it once stood — walking through hidden corridors and deciphering hieroglyphics — all from a venue in Sydney.

Local Legends & Stories

The Great Pyramid of Giza was built as a tomb for Pharaoh Khufu and has stood for over 4,500 years as the only surviving wonder of the ancient world. Ancient Egyptian beliefs held that the pyramid's corridors and chambers were designed to guide the pharaoh's soul on its journey to the afterlife, adding a spiritual dimension to every stone and passage.
