“Horizon of Khufu,” an immersive virtual reality expedition across ancient Egypt, is making its U.S. debut at Illminarium in Atlanta.

Designed for ages 8 and up, the 45-minute experience unfolds across Illuminarium’s 11,000 square feet space in Poncey-Highland. Produced by Excurio and distributed by Eclipso, this virtual expedition transports guests 4,500 years into the past.

“Horizon of Khufu” will take guests on a journey to the Great Pyramid of Giza and throughout the storied land of the Pharaohs. The virtual journey explores the intricate tombs of Pharaoh Khufu, followed by a visit to the Giza Necropolis, the famous Egyptian site home to the three Great Pyramids.

As the experience continues, guests will navigate the waters of the Nile, witness mummification ceremonies, and attend the funeral of King Khufu, the visionary behind the Pyramids of Giza.

Tickets are available at  eclipso-entertainment.com/en/atlanta/ or by visiting illuminarium.com. The VR experience is open now for an extended run.
