ZACHEE SYCAMORE

This 2,000-year-old sycamore tree is said by St. Luke to be the one on which Zacchaeus climbed to see Jesus passing through the city. It is located at the end of the Russian Museum park. It is clearly visible from Ain Es-sultan Street, renamed Dmitry Medvedev Street for a short distance. All that remains is the stump protected by a tiled canopy. It is most likely not the exact tree that Zacchaeus climbed, but it is contemporary with the tax collector and is located in the same frame as the biblical sycamore.
