Having just returned from two weeks in Luxor I felt perfectly safe at all times!! It was wonderful to be back, only so sad to see all the cruise boats lined up and the sights so quiet.

Just tell them, come and see the wonderful sights and the wonderful people and judge for yourself, I always say, I would worry less about a child alone in Luxor than in most European cities.
