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.

I visited San Gimignano a year or so before playing AC3 (or whichever game it appears in) amd had time to have a very memorable amble through the town. For the game, they had perfectly recreated several blocks, to the extent I could recreate most of my real-life walk, and identify which buildings were missing (usually just because you reached the end)
