Ancient Egyptian art features many tree species, some of which are now extinct in Egypt. Most trees did not provide wood suitable for building or crafts, so good quality timber was a rare commodity.

Tree species included:

  • persea (Mimusops laurifolia)
  • Christ's thorn tree (Ziziphus spina-Christi)
  • horseradish tree (Moringa aptera) baq in hieroglyphs
  • sycamore fig
  • date palm
  • doum palm
  • fig
  • acacia
  • tamarisk
  • mimosa
  • willow
  • lemon tree
