Thomson did operate to Luxor from BHX up until a terrorist attack in the Luxor region that led to them pulling the who UK operation.
It's taken them a long time to go back into that market, and I expect an element of the Luxor offer will be Nile cruises, but as DJ6 says danger is sadly never far from the Egyptian tourist industry.
