If seeing the Pyramids is on your bucket list, but a 10-hour airline flight is not, a new virtual reality experience in New York will offer the next best thing to being in Giza itself.
Horizon of Khufu brings you back 4,500 years to experience the mysteries of Ancient Egypt. Anyone age 8 and older can put on the VR headset and roam around as they wish – meaning everyone in your crew will have their own unique experiences.
It’ll take you about 45 minutes to go through 11,000 square feet of space where you can navigate the tombs of Pharaoh Khufu, see the majestic Giza Necropolis and the Great Pyramids, journey across the Nile, attend a mummification ceremony and witness King Khufu’s last rites.
The show has toured globally but is making its NYC debut thanks to VR entertainment company Eclipso and Excurio’s Immersive Expeditions. Excurio consulted with renowned Egyptologist Dr. Peter Der Manuelian of Harvard University’s Giza Archives Project to develop the content, so you’ll be getting lots of historical accuracy and a true glimpse into Egypt’s past.
Horizon of Khufu will be open on select dates from October 25 through January 26, 2025, at Eclipso Centre’s flagship location in Hell’s Kitchen: 555 W. 57th St., New York. Tickets are available every day except Mondays. The cost is $39 per adult or $34 per child but certain discounts apply. Open to age 8 and up, but you must be at least 4 feet 6 inches tall to attend.
