Staff attentive as always, even though Luxor/ Egypt are struggling through lack of tourists they remain cheerful. Security as safe as always, I have never experienced any trouble even when visiting during the 2011 revolution, just after the Hatshepsut incident or any other time. It is heart breaking to see them all struggling. I expected a high 'hassle factor' due to the lack of tourists, but actually found it to be less than usual. I expect that a lot of the 'incomers' have gone back to where they came from and you are left with just the genuine locals, who have always been friendly and welcoming rather than hassle.
