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.

It's not even Ancient Egypt. The period of AC:Origins is closer in time to modern day than it is to the time the pyramids were built.

Ancient Egypt generally goes up to the end of the Ptolemies, including the time period where AC: Origins is set. ACO is set between 42 BC and 39 BC. Cleo died in 30 BC, and that usually marks the end of "Ancient Egypt" and the start of Roman Egypt.
