The first time I went to Abydos was with "the convoy", a whole line of cars, busses and military. Two hours to get a very quick glance at the temple and off to Dendera. Costs: 50 euro (+ entrance, food, etc.). The second time I decided to take the train from Luxor to Balyana (1st class = 3 euro) and then a taxi to Abydos (1 euro). The "tourists" had already left so I had the whole temple all to myself for as long as I wanted. Return trip (1st class again, but then 3,50 euro ---> go figure it out). I met really nice Egyptians in the train, not trying to sell you anything but just curious about where I live, how I live etc. I Had a wonderfull time!!!
