Simple columnar epithelium. nonciliated type lines digestive tract, ciliated type lines some regions of uterine tubes and lungs. Stratified squamous epithelium. (important) lines mouth, esophagus,and vagina. Cells sometimes dead, flat and keratinized, making them resistant to abrasion. Stratified squamous epithelium changes to columnar squamous epithelium progressively down esophagus to the stomach. Epidermis. from epithelium. The esophagus (American English) or oesophagus (British English), commonly known as the foodpipe or gullet, is an organ in vertebrates which consists of a fibromuscular tube through which food passes, aided by peristaltic contractions, from the pharynx to the stomach. The esophagus may be affected by gastric reflux, cancer, prominent dilated blood vessels called varices that can bleed heavily, tears, constrictions, and disorders of motility. Clinical investigations include X-rays using barium, endoscopy, and CT scans. Esophageal epithelium is non-keratinized stratified squamous. Note that the basal surface of the epithelium can be deeply indented by connective tissue papillae. In oblique section through the epithelium, the connective tissue papillae can look like islands, apparently surrounded by epithelium. The esophageal lining is protected by a stratified squamous epithelium. Because this epithelium is normally not exposed to dryness or to abrasion, it is non-keratinized. Scattered submucosal mucous glands provide lubrication. Slide 49 Esophagus. Stratified squamous nonkeratinizing epithelium lines the lumen of the esophagus. This type of epithelium is found in mucous membranes. Slide 43 Skin, sole of foot. Observe the thick cornified layer of stratified squamous keratinizing epithelium of the skin.  The wall of the esophagus from the lumen outwards consists of mucosa, sub-mucosa (connective tissue), layers of muscle fibers between layers of fibrous tissue, and an outer layer of connective tissue. The esophagus may be affected by gastric reflux, cancer, prominent dilated blood vessels called varices that can bleed heavily, tears, constrictions, and disorders of motility. Clinical investigations include X-rays using barium, endoscopy, and CT scans. The type of epithelial cells lining the small and large intestines  are simple columnar.

According to my histology textbook, non-keratinized stratified squamous epithelium lines the length of the Esophagus. not too sure why though!!
