Best time to go
The most comfortable time to visit Cairo attractions is usually from October to April, when daytime temperatures are milder than in summer. Early morning is often best for shorter queues and lower heat, while Ramadan and major public holidays may bring altered opening patterns or busier entrance periods.
02Overview
A first look
The Mary Tree sits inside the Coptic quarter of Old Cairo near the Hanging Church. This ticket covers site admission; guided visits with our Cairo Egyptologists are available separately.
Background
The facts
Mary Tree in Cairo is a site visit centered on access to the Mary Tree area and its immediate grounds. As an attraction ticket, it is a self-guided entry product rather than a packaged sightseeing program, so visitors use their ticket at the entrance gate and explore the site at their own pace.
The ticket grants single-entry admission for the selected category, such as adult, child, or concession where available. Tickets are arranged through Discovery Tours Egypt and sent by email as a PDF after confirmation; some venues may require a printed copy, so it is prudent to bring one to the gate.
Opening hours and last-admission times can vary seasonally, and entrance procedures may include security screening and bag checks. Photography rules vary by venue, so travelers should confirm the current policy on arrival or through official information before visiting.
For planning purposes, allow extra time for ticket validation and security, especially during busy periods and public holidays. This type of ticket is best suited to independent visitors who want admission only, without transport or a scheduled program.

Asked & answered
Frequent questions
01What does this attraction ticket include?
The ticket covers standard site entry; special-access areas and premium tombs are excluded unless explicitly stated. In Egypt, standard entrance fees are normally included unless the listing says otherwise. Pyramid interiors (Khufu/Khafre), the Tutankhamun tomb in KV62, and Seti I's tomb require separate premium tickets. As a licensed Egyptian tour operator, we issue and manage the e-ticket on your behalf and can add premium access on request.02Does this ticket include access to the Khufu (Great Pyramid) interior?
No–Khufu (Great Pyramid) interior access is not included unless the ticket explicitly lists it. Khufu interior uses a separate timed ticket with a limited daily quota and narrow, steep passages. We do not bundle Khufu interior with standard tickets; we add it only on request. Travelers with claustrophobia or limited mobility often skip the interior and visit Khafre, Menkaure, and the Solar Boat Museum instead.03How will I receive the e-ticket and do I need to show ID?
We email a timed-entry e-ticket; bring the same passport used to book for identity checks at the entrance. Mobile or printed tickets are usually accepted but follow the venue instructions shown on your ticket. Unlike gate purchases, our timed e-tickets secure a specific entry slot and reduce queuing. Arrive 20–30 minutes early for security screening; we can arrange meet-and-greet or transfers for an additional fee.04Can I change or cancel my attraction ticket?
More than 72 hours ahead, keep 100% as credit toward future travel or take a 100% refund, less bank charges. Between 72 and 24 hours, keep 100% as credit or take a 50% refund. Within 24 hours, or if you don't show up, there is no refund or credit. If we have to cancel, you lose nothing.05Is the site accessible for wheelchairs or people with limited mobility?
Accessibility varies widely; many archaeological sites have uneven stone, steps, and limited ramps. Tombs and narrow passages (for example inside Khufu or many New Kingdom tombs) are often inaccessible to wheelchairs. Cobblestones, sand, and long approach walks can make independent mobility difficult. We can arrange porters, a closer permitted drop-off where possible, or suggest shorter routes and viewpoint options instead.06What should I wear and bring for an attraction visit in Cairo?
Wear lightweight, modest clothing, sturdy closed shoes, sunscreen, a hat, and carry refillable water due to heat. Temples and mosques require covered shoulders and knees; avoid shorts for mosque visits. Bring sunglasses, a portable phone charger, and small change for toilets and tips. Security screening is standard; large bags may be refused, so use a small daypack for essentials.

CairoSynagogue of Ben Ezra and Amr ibn al‑As Mosque, Old Cairo
Visit the Synagogue of Ben Ezra and the Amr ibn al‑As Mosque in Old Cairo on a guided half-day walk. Ben Ezra houses fragments of the Cairo Geniza; Amr ibn al‑As dates to 642 CE and is Egypt's first mosque. As a licensed Egyptian tour operator, we arrange access and our Egyptologists explain each site's changing use and architecture. We avoid large coach groups and schedule visits outside prayer times to maximise interior access. Unlike typical coach stops that rush both sites, we allow 45–60 minutes at each site for photography and questions. Expect narrow doorways, limited shade, and mosque closures during Friday midday prayers. Standard site entrance fees are included.

CairoAl-Moez Street Entry Ticket
Al-Moez Street is a medieval Cairo thoroughfare lined with Fatimid and Mamluk-era monuments, gates and historic façades. This admission grants access to the pedestrianised street and its visible monuments, including views toward Bab Zuweila and the Mosque of Al-Hakim. As a licensed Egyptian tour operator, we arrange the ticket and send it to you by email as a PDF after booking. Unlike a museum admission, the street is an open historic quarter rather than a single indoor site, so visiting times are flexible but subject to seasonal opening hours and special events.

CairoImhotep Museum (Saqqara) – Entry Ticket
Entry ticket to the Imhotep Museum at Saqqara, which presents finds from Old Kingdom tombs linked to the Step Pyramid. The museum opened in 2006 and contains chronological displays that help explain Saqqara before you walk the necropolis. We are a licensed Egyptian tour operator and do not treat the museum as optional: our Egyptologists use it to introduce funerary archaeology, then lead the site visit. Unlike rush Giza–Saqqara day trips that compress interpretation, we recommend 30–60 minutes for the museum plus separate time on the necropolis. Ticket only; guided visits and private transfers from Cairo are available on request.
