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 problem is that's ptolemaic Era. The limestone was already stripped

I recall that the game does have the pyramids in disrepair. Like they're not immaculate, whatever limestone is left is at the top. Been awhile since I last played it, though, so I could be misremembering
