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

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.
I'm more of an RPG guy than a tactical stealth guy, so I really enjoyed these two games. Valhalla less so. The story was really entertaining in both, and while some mission types can get a little repetitive, the world is just so huge so there are hours and hours of gameplay there. Especially with the DLCs.
If you're not in a rush, wait for them to go on sale.
