Forget long flights and endless layovers. After all, São Paulo is anything but boring. Throughout the city, events and attractions are multiplying, shaping the cultural calendar of every São Paulo resident. But for those who appreciate the secrets of ancient civilizations, there’s no need to even step foot in a traditional museum. Far from display cases and fixed routes, you can teleport yourself directly to Ancient Egypt, right beneath São Paulo, with the immersive expedition “Horizonte de Quéops” ( originally “The Horizon of Khufu”).

If you close your eyes, you can imagine the fantastic adventures of Indiana Jones, right ? Amid mysteries and challenges, the famous movie character embarked on incredible expeditions. But now you, too, can be an explorer and experience some unforgettable moments firsthand, thanks to new technologies. And this is where the unique appeal of experiences like the “Horizonte de Quéops”exhibition comes in .
At the intersection of past and future, traditional exhibitions where you simply look at static displays are a thing of the past. In other words, you become part of the experience itself, diving headfirst into hyper-realistic, free-roaming virtual reality projections . Located on the second basement level of Shopping Cidade São Paulo on Avenida Paulista, this is one of the largest immersive experiences of its kind and takes you on a journey through time, 4,500 years into the past.
What to expect from the expedition?
For about an hour, wearing state-of-the-art virtual reality goggles, in the blink of an eye, the hustle and bustle of São Paulo gives way to the grandeur of the desert and the Pyramid of Giza. Get ready to explore forbidden corridors, unravel mysteries in the Queen’s Chamber, meet the goddess Bastet, sail down the Nile , or even witness the funeral of Pharaoh Khufu on a deeply immersive sensory journey.
In a free-roaming experience , you’ll go where more than a million people around the world have already been. And the best part? The content wasn’t put together at random. In fact, it draws on the expertise of Peter Der Manuelian, a renowned Egyptologist and professor at Harvard University, making this an expedition rich in knowledge and, of course, memories.
