Cleopatra, the Fate of Egypt: a virtual reality experience lands in Paris at the end of 2026

By the end of December 2026, Paris will host a new historical virtual-reality experience, this time centered on Cleopatra, the last queen of Egypt. A chance to uncover secrets that have been buried for millennia...

After Napoleon and his immersive epic, embark on a journey into the history of the great Cleopatra, through a virtual reality immersion experience. For almost half an hour, you travel back to ancient Egypt, standing beside the last queen, witnessing her alliances with Julius Caesar or Mark Antony, and bearing witness to betrayals and secrets long buried that changed the course of history. It’s a rare chance to roam the land as it was more than 2,000 years ago: the palace of Alexandria, the pyramids of Giza, the shores of the Nile...

Following its run in Lyon, this Sandora‑branded experience is heading to the capital, by the end of 2026! If the venue and exact dates haven’t been announced yet, ticket prices are expected to hover around €17 in concession and €26 at full price on weekends, with cheaper rates during the week. Accessible from age 8, this dive into history aims to tell the woman behind the clichés, behind the legendary sovereign.

Equipped with a headset, visitors roam freely through environments life-sized reconstructions, behind Cleopatra who is trying to safeguard Egypt’s independence, a cultured, polyglot queen and strategist in a man's world. Thanks to a historical brief provided by a scientific committee, you’ll be able to observe the representation of the architectures, as well as the clothing and practices of the era.

But virtual reality isn’t the only thing shaping this character, with an exhibition that extends the experience, a museum space devoted to Cleopatra, a making-of of the production, and a digital twin of the queen, which visitors can quiz endlessly! So many mysteries to uncover very soon in Paris!
