Westfield Stratford opens new experience Horizon of Khufu

VR experience Horizon of Khufu allows travellers to step back 4,500 years into Ancient Egypt where you can see the Great Pyramid of Giza and more.

Opening doors at the start of October at Westfield Stratford, the experience allows you to crawl through ancient burial chambers, witness mummification ceremonies and navigate the Nile by boat to attend the funeral of King Khufu.

The Horizon of Khufu uncovers 1,000 square meters of ancient ruins and was developed by leading virtual reality studio Excurio and Egyptologist, Peter Der Manuelian.

Discussing the new experience, Fabien Barati, Managing Director of Emissive, said: “We’ve worked tirelessly to develop Immersive Expeditions and create an experience which enables people to travel through time and witness a wonder of the world, right on their doorstep.
