2–3 minutes

Tucked away in Montreal’s Old Port lies an experience that transports you across continents and millennia. The Horizon of Khufu (L’horizon De Khéops) offers a unique chance to explore ancient Egypt without leaving the city. Through cutting-edge virtual reality, visitors are taken on an immersive journey to uncover the secrets of the Great Pyramid of Giza—one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.

The Magic of Virtual Time Travel
Imagine standing atop the Great Pyramid, gazing at the sprawling city of Cairo, or walking through the sacred chambers of Pharaoh Khufu’s tomb. This isn’t just a virtual tour; it’s a breathtaking adventure that blends history and technology. Guided by a virtual host, Mona, participants delve into the life and legacy of Khufu, navigating the pyramid’s corridors and ascending to its iconic peak.

The experience also rewinds time, allowing visitors to witness King Khufu’s funeral rites, complete with the rituals and presence of his family. From sailing the Nile to stepping into areas off-limits to physical tourists, every moment feels authentic. Designed by Emissive in collaboration with Harvard Egyptology experts, the visuals and historical details are meticulously crafted, immersing visitors in a world 4,500 years in the making.
