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 ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the apartment: WiFi ### Bedrooms - Bedroom - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom -
