MONTREAL.- After only 19 weeks of presentation, this immersive expedition into ancient Egypt has won over Montréal audiences and tourists. Now extended until Labor Day weekend on September 1st, The Horizon of Khufu is no doubt the activity to do this summer!

After being presented in major cultural capitals such as Paris, London, and Shanghai, The Horizon of Khufu is hitting Montréal with full force. With record pre-sales, astounding press coverage with over 50 mentions, and delighted audiences, the PHI team is extending this virtual reality experience due to popular demand!

The project

This unique 45-minute experience is the result of three years' research and development by the French company Emissive. Equipped with a virtual reality headset, visitors are transported more than 8,000 km from Montréal to the foot of Egypt's highest pyramid, for a journey back to the third millennium BC.

An experience illuminated by the latest scientific discoveries about the Khufu Pyramid

The Horizon of Khufu was conceived in partnership with Peter Der Manuelian, Professor of Egyptology at Harvard University, and Director of the Giza Project. He and his team supervised the creation of this experience, ensuring its scientific accuracy through architectural and historical data applied in the reconstitution of the site and re-enactment of ancient practices.
