We have just come back from 2 weeks in Luxor. We had 1 week on a nile cruise which was superb and 1 week in Luxor.We were the first flight into Luxor since the demonstrations and were greeted as long lost family, everywere we went people said thank you for coming. There was no problems at any of the temple sites that we visited just friendly happy faces. The second week in Luxor was just the same,yes you were hassled to buy post cards, scarves, books, bags etc. also to go on a nile falucca, or a horse and carraige but a firm no thankyou was all that was required.It is necessary to remember that there have not been any tourists for 5 weeks so in an area that depends on tourism you have to expect a bit of hassle.Would we go again, definitely,was it value for money, yes. If you are thinking should I or should I not then my advise would take the plung and go, it is wonderful
