Abstract
This article discusses the range of methodologies used to explore the making oftourism enclaves at Luxor, Egypt. Enclaving in tourism describes a process ofsegregating tourists from the local residents, to develop exclusive touristicspaces. This process has developed at Luxor since the beginning of elite tourism inthe 19th century. It was apparent that both a historical and ethnographic approachwould require the innovation of strategies to gather information about thecontributions and resistance of key tourism actors (informal guides, tourists, touroperators, and government), to the production of enclaving. This article willexamine the multifaceted approach used to gather information from and about theseactors, including the benefits and drawbacks of integrating historical andethnographic information. Investigating the production of exclusion also revealedethical issues and other pitfalls to research.
