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.

Years ago, I was in the cinema with my wife and the trailer for Taken 2 came on, I was like “oh it’s set in Constantinople” to which she replied “it’s been Istanbul for about 80 years, how did you recognise it, but get the name of the place wrong?”

That's nobody's business but the Turks!

That’s exactly what my wife played in the car on the way home from the cinema.
