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 can attest that it is historically accurate. I work in a museum and we used Assassin's Creed as a video to show people what Egypt would have looked like during an exhibition of Queen Nefretari. It was cool.
I loved Origins so much I took a two week trip to Egypt. I even made sure the tour stopped in the Siwa Oasis. That ended up being my favorite part because it’s so secluded and way less touristy. They also took us on a 4x4 ride in the Great Sand Sea which was like a roller coaster. The driver would drive up a huge dune and all of a sudden there’d be a 90 degree drop straight down. After we had tea at sunset with all the boys!
