This was a spur of the moment purchase, as we were at the Fever Pavilion to see another exhibition. We had never done the VR experience before, so we were quite intrigued. The staff were fantastic and helpful before it started and then, what a ride it was! Being able to see the pyramids in a way that you would not be able to see them in real life was amazing. The effects were fantastic & a couple of times, quite overwhelming (but in a good way!) We would definitely do this again.

I had gone about two months back with two other friends and was really impressed. I told another friend of mine that she really needed to go because it was really really good and even though I had already seen it I was happy to go a second time we've had.

Good imagination and design. Good VR equipment and amazing sound effect. In a word, well experience that deserves to have. But one advice is that we hope there can be somewhere to sit down or squating to take a little break during the VR journey. The whole time of standing can be a bit tiring.

    • Travel back 4500 years into the heart of ancient Egypt with the Horizon of Khufu, a 45-minute VR experience that blends ancient wonders and modern technology.

    • Strap on your VR headset and stand at the foot of the impressive and tawny Pyramid of Giza and the celebrated Sphinx in the presence of a select few.

    • Witness the burial rites of King Khufu and spend some time solving hieroglyphs, making it an entertaining experience like no other.

    • Listen to the audio in your preferred language as you journey on the blue waters of the Nile and learn about the secrets behind the pyramid’s design.

    • Did you know? King Khufu's mummy has never been found. Only his empty sarcophagus sits in the King's Chamber inside the Pyramid of Giza.

    • Entry to Horizon of Khufu VR experience

    • Audio in English, French, and Chinese

    • Adjustable VR headset

  • These tickets can't be cancelled or rescheduled.
