Enjoying the virtual reality of Egypt

This time travel is brought to NYC by the innovative virtual reality entertainment company, Eclipso and it is powered by the advanced production, technology, and content of international virtual reality leaders, Excurio’s Immersive Expeditions. In fact, Excurio consulted with renowned Egyptologist, Dr. Peter Der Manuelian of Harvard University’s Giza Archives Project to develop the content for Horizon of Khufu, which meticulously recreates the ancient world with historical accuracy, providing a genuine, finely developed view of Egypt’s past.

There’s really nothing like Horizon of Khufu in the city. It is ideal for solo exploration, date night, a family get together, a friends’ outing, and educational programming. For us, one visit is not enough and we look forward to returning to the Eclipso Center again for this incredibly unique virtual expedition. Tickets are now available on the website.
