About This Place

Egyptian Pyramids

Embark on an immersive 360° virtual journey through the Giza Plateau, home to humanity’s most iconic ancient monuments. Begin at the Great Pyramid of Khufu, the largest of the three pyramids, where you’ll explore the exterior architecture and venture inside through narrow passageways to the King’s Chamber and the magnificent Grand Gallery with its towering corbelled ceiling.

Continue to the Pyramid of Khafre, which appears taller due to its elevated position and still retains some of its original limestone casing at the apex. Then visit the Pyramid of Menkaure, the smallest of the three main pyramids but no less impressive in its construction.

Stand face-to-face with the Great Sphinx of Giza, the limestone statue with a lion’s body and human head, believed to represent Pharaoh Khafre. Explore the Sphinx Temple and Valley Temple, where ancient rituals once took place.

Walk through the ancient cemetery fields where nobles and officials were laid to rest in mastaba tombs. Visit the Solar Boat Museum to see the remarkably preserved 4,500-year-old cedarwood boat of Khufu, discovered in 1954.

Experience stunning panoramic views from multiple vantage points across the desert plateau, where all three pyramids align perfectly. Witness the site at different times of day – from golden sunrise to dramatic sunset – revealing how light transforms these ancient monuments.

Interactive features include detailed architectural cross-sections, historical reconstructions showing how the pyramids looked in their original white limestone glory, expert narration from Egyptologists, and archaeological insights into construction techniques and burial customs.

Originally Shining White

The pyramids were originally covered in polished white limestone casing stones that reflected the sun's light, making them shine brilliantly and visible from miles away. These smooth outer casings were mostly removed over centuries for building projects in Cairo

The interior of the Great Pyramid maintains a constant temperature of 20°C (68°F), which equals the average temperature of the Earth, regardless of the desert heat outside.

Workforce Size

Contrary to popular belief, the pyramids weren't built by slaves. Recent archaeological evidence shows they were constructed by skilled workers - approximately 100,000 laborers working in three-month shifts, who were well-fed and housed in nearby workers' villages.
