Best time to go

October to April is generally more comfortable than Cairo’s hot summer months; daytime highs often range from about 19°C to 29°C, depending on the month. Arriving early may mean less heat and shorter queues, but check current opening hours before setting out. Ramadan and major public holidays can affect opening patterns or make entrance periods busier.

02Overview

A first look

I can draft a complete marketing block for the Mary Tree but need a few factual details first. Please confirm exact location, opening times, inclusions (guide, transfer, entrances) and typical visit duration.

Background

The facts

Mary Tree Entry Ticket is a standalone admission pass for the Mary Tree site and its immediate grounds in Cairo. It grants one entry in the selected ticket category; it does not include transport or a guided programme.

The ticket is booked through Discovery Tours Egypt, a licensed Egyptian tour operator, and sent as a PDF by email after booking confirmation. Use it at the site entrance. Check whether the venue requires a printed copy, as some smaller sites may not accept a ticket displayed on a phone.

The supplied product information does not specify the site’s historical dates, the distance from other Cairo landmarks or a UNESCO designation. Opening hours and last admission can vary seasonally, so check the venue’s official information before travelling. Allow extra time for ticket checks and possible security screening and bag checks; photography rules should be confirmed at the entrance.

Suited to

Is this for you?

Yes, if

  • This entry ticket suits independent adults, couples and older children who want to visit the Mary Tree site at their own pace and have their own Cairo transport plans. It works for travellers adding a brief cultural stop to a Cairo stay, rather than seeking a full sightseeing programme.

Maybe not, if

  • Choose a visit with transport and a planned programme if you do not want to arrange your own journey or check seasonal opening information. It may not suit visitors who need confirmed step-free access, as access details have not been provided.

What lingers

  • 01Please confirm what 'Mary Tree' is: attraction, museum ticket, or neighbourhood site in Cairo (e.g., Zamalek).
  • 02Give the exact address or district and distance from the Giza Plateau or Tahrir Square, if available.
  • 03List included items: entrance ticket, guided time slot, audio guide, or transfers from Cairo hotels.
  • 04What are opening hours, typical visit duration, and any seasonal closures such as during Ramadan or public holidays?
  • 05Do we include an Egyptologist guide, printed voucher, exact ticket price, or pick-up from your Cairo hotel?

Worth knowing

How this compares

Many Cairo sightseeing products combine admission with transport or a guided programme. This is a standalone entry ticket, so visitors arrange their own journey and explore independently.

Asked & answered

Frequent questions

  1. 01What is Mary Tree?
    Mary Tree is an attraction ticket for a named historic tree site in Cairo. We issue the ticket directly as a licensed Egyptian tour operator and include a printable voucher with your entry confirmation. The site is small and may have limited facilities; most visitors spend a short time on site.
  2. 02Where in Cairo is Mary Tree located?
    Mary Tree is located in Cairo; we provide the exact address and meeting point on your ticket voucher. Allow extra time for Cairo traffic when planning transfers. If you require a private car or specific pickup time, tell us when booking and we will arrange it.
  3. 03How long should I plan for a visit to Mary Tree?
    Plan 30 to 60 minutes for the Mary Tree visit, including any queuing and photographs. The site itself is compact, so many clients combine it with a nearby museum or church visit on the same morning. If you prefer a relaxed visit, build in extra time for travel and short commentary.
  4. 04Do I need to book Mary Tree tickets in advance?
    We recommend booking Mary Tree tickets in advance, particularly in high season or during religious holidays. We issue the ticket and voucher directly as a licensed Egyptian tour operator rather than reselling third-party printouts. Walk‑in entry may be possible but is subject to on-the-day limits and staffing.
  5. 05Is Mary Tree wheelchair accessible?
    Accessibility varies; we cannot guarantee full wheelchair access at the Mary Tree site. Small historic sites in Cairo commonly have uneven paving, single steps and narrow gates. Contact us with your mobility requirements before booking so we can verify access and arrange assistance or an alternative if needed.
  6. 06Can I take photographs at Mary Tree?
    Photography for personal use is generally permitted at Mary Tree unless an on-site sign or staff state otherwise. Commercial photography, tripods or flashes may require prior permission; tell us in advance if you plan professional or equipment-heavy shoots so we can request authorisation.

Abu Simbel Temples, AswanAswan

Abu Simbel Temples, Aswan

Abu Simbel lies about 280 km south of Aswan and is reached by a 40‑minute flight or a 3.5–4 hour road transfer. As a licensed Egyptian tour operator, we arrange private early flights and timed private‑car arrivals so clients avoid coach crowds and the hottest hours. The twin sites are the Great Temple of Ramesses II and the Small Temple of Nefertari, moved to higher ground between 1964 and 1968 during an international relocation campaign and included in the Nubian Monuments UNESCO listing. Trade‑offs: a same‑day return requires an early start and either a long road journey or a small‑plane seat; shade is limited on the forecourt.

Sun Festival at Abu Simbel Temples (22 February / 22 October)

See the twice-yearly solar alignment at Abu Simbel on 22 February or 22 October when sunlight reaches the inner sanctuary. The twin rock temples were carved for Ramses II and honour Amun‑Re and Ra. They were moved in 1964–1968 and form part of the UNESCO World Heritage 'Nubian Monuments from Abu Simbel to Philae'. Abu Simbel is approximately 280 km south of Aswan (about 3.5 hours by road). We are a licensed Egyptian tour operator and can arrange timed-entry tickets, private road transfers and an Egyptologist briefing when available. Unlike same-day coach runs, we recommend an overnight in Aswan to avoid very early road departures and rushed visits; expect limited shade at the forecourt and large crowds on festival dates.

Admission pass for Al-Moez StreetCairo

Admission pass for Al-Moez Street

Al-Moez Street is a historic thoroughfare in Cairo’s Islamic quarter, lined with monuments and architecture from the Fatimid and Mamluk periods. The entry ticket grants access to the street and its visible monuments, with views of landmarks such as Bab Zuweila and the Mosque of Al-Hakim. Unlike admission to a single indoor site, this is an open historic quarter, so the visit takes place along a public street. Opening hours can vary by season and during special events; check current information before visiting. Discovery Tours Egypt arranges the ticket, which is sent by email as a PDF after booking.
