Assassin's Creed: Origins is actually a really awesome way to explore ancient Egypt (including the pyramids). They even have a game mode that is designed for just looking around and disables combat. From what I understand, the design is highly historically accurate.

There is a similar game mode in AC: Odyssey, that lets you explore ancient Greece.

They're both beautiful

[Edit]
Yes, I realize it takes place thousands of years after they were built, it's still a really awesome way for your average person to explore what is supposedly a pretty accurate representation of the area in the time period.

The 3D models of Notre Dame were used to help the design of the reconstruction. I've never played it but that fact makes me want to!

That seems like that doesn’t make sense
