About this property

Nile Loft - 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.

Amazing stay on the Houseboat!

I had a great experience staying for a night at the Houseboat65. The houseboat itself is one of a kind and very unique. Jerome and Paola (the hosts) were super welcoming and helping! Thanks again to them :)
