MrBeast is known for organizing and filming extreme challenges and prize giveaways.
“I’ve never been in [the pyramids]. I just want to find secrets and go through all the rooms and tombs and stuff,” he continued. “I’m excited because there are all these secret corridors deep underground as well. I don’t know what to expect. ”

Accompanied by a guide, Mr. Beast and some of his friends plan to travel through the interior of the monument, where they will also sleep at night. The YouTuber plans to film the experience, exploring ghosts along the way, with the aim of showing people “the parts of the pyramid that no one sees publicly”.
He worked with the Egyptian government to gain private access and obtain permission to film there.
This isn’t the first time people have had private access to ancient Egyptian ruins. Earlier this year, for example, the ancient Egyptian pyramids and the Great Sphinx of Giza were closed to the public for a week to accommodate the wedding of a tech billionaire.
