Deluxe Glasshouse - Houseboat65, Zamalek island - 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 travelers.

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 apartment is air-conditioned and features a separate bedroom.

A timeless retreat

Staying at Houseboat 65 has undoubtedly been the highlight of my time here in Cairo. The place exudes a nostalgic charm reminiscent of a '60s novel, seamlessly blending vintage and modern decor that transports you into the pages of an Agatha Christie story. Its central location in Zamalek and Cairo facilitated easy exploration of the city, and the discreet entrance heightened the sense of entering a personal sanctuary amidst the bustling streets of Cairo. A special mention goes to the kind elderly man who warmly welcomed us, assisting with various small tasks throughout the day. I wholeheartedly recommend Houseboat 65—an extraordinary experience that will likely stay etched in my memory forever.
