Ancient Egypt at your fingertips
The adventure begins once you put on your headset. The necropolis gradually reveals itself, allowing you to make out the Nile River and the palm trees lining its banks. But behind this fantastical landscape lies a darker reality: King Khufu has just died. You’ll have the opportunity to explore his tomb (and some will even be treated to a VIP tour once night falls).
As is well known, Ancient Egypt is also defined by its spiritual origins and its many deities. During your journey through the necropolis, you’ll havethe experience of a lifetime: walking the same paths as the ancient Egyptians for about forty minutes.
Peter Der Manuelian, professor of Egyptology, and his team from Harvard’s “Giza Project” have drawn on years of research to ensure that “Horizon of Khufu” is an exceptionally accurate expedition. The experience faithfully recreates the true appearance of the pyramids, as well as the people and customs of the era.
“The Horizon of Khufu” offers the chance to immerse yourself in ancient Egypt and discover a whole new world—all while staying in Montreal. The experience is reopening at the Old Port!
