About this property

Houseboat65 - Historic Home on the Nile - Zamalek, Central Cairo

Imagine waking up on a houseboat in the middle of Cairo, graced with the gorgeous view of the great Nile river.

Houseboat65 is a stationary floating house situated in Zamalek island and close to Cairo’s must-see attractions. The place is built entirely out of wood with an architectural style from the 1920s and it is suited for both business and leisure travellers.

Even a year wouldn’t be enough to discover all the jewels of this ancient city. However, a few days on this houseboat can give you a good glimpse of what life is like in Cairo.

The most amazing stay !!!
This place was an absolute dream and looked even better than the photos! I was lucky to spend a couple of nights here with my husband and two childrens. We travel a lot and this was by far our best Vrbo experience! The Houseboat was filled with beautiful touches, the plates and cups, the bedsheets, artsy decorations, everything was perfect. Paola and Jerome were extremely helpful and responsive. Their recommendations definitely changed the way we visited Cairo and later on Fayoum Oasis. The boat tour also provides such a memorable experience. It was so wonderful to be so centrally located. Mohamed the porter was adorable and would stop a taxi with counter for us whenever we needed one. The Air con heats and cools the whole apartment in a few minutes. The shower was hot and had a great pressure. A one of a kind experience!!
