[2024 Ait Ben Haddou Stay] Travel Guide for Guest House Bagdad Café (Updated Nov)
Game of Thrones filming location! Ait Ben Haddou travel guide
Departing from Marrakech, a 3.5-hour self-drive will take you to a must-visit spot on the loop, the Game of Thrones filming location Ait Ben Haddou!
The village is very small, if you are in a hurry like us, you can stay directly in the village. If you want to stay in a better place, you can go to Ouarzazate first, and then drive back 30km to Ait Ben Haddou village.
You can walk directly to the castle from the main road of the village. As the filming location of 'Game of Thrones', 'The Mummy', and 'Gladiator', it is also very popular among photography enthusiasts, and it's a great place for taking photos!
💡The castle is free of charge🆓, but there is an old man who charges for the nearest shortcut. (Probably because it passes by his house?) Most tourists and group tours go up from the right side of the main road, cross the nearly dry creek, and follow the sign with the large 'Entrance' to the main gate of the castle!
The entire castle is surrounded by red brick walls, with scenery all the way, and various local souvenir shops and handicrafts. You can overlook the entire village from the highest point~ Especially the stairs in front of the highest point of the castle, it's a great place for taking photos!📸
When you come down, you can rest in a local tea house and have a cup of Moroccan mint tea🍃. The terrace view of the tea house we went to was superb! Taking photos gives a sense of Aladdin's magic lamp, full of exotic charm, and the boss is very enthusiastic~☀️
Finally, cross the bridge back to the village, taking photos of the castle from the bridge is also a beautiful spot!🕶
🏨Accommodation
We stayed at the very popular Guest House Bagdad Café in the village, there is a parking space at the door🅿️, and it's very convenient to go to the castle!
The Culinary Cruise
Bagdad Cafe
Mesitello "bistrot lescalier" (Bistrot lescalier I) Good morning de my time (...) Everyone, thank you for all the congratulatory rice yesterday. I went to Jiyugaoka a little early. There are a lot of Madams in Jiyugaoka, and it's popular ~ There are a lot of Madams = Cooking is delicious Hmmm, this is pretty promising! I'm Calling You of Chanson ver. Is hanging in the store, do you know? "BAGDAD CAFE --I'm Calling You" People who know, I like a lot of music. Yeah, it's fashionable. The appetizer is "Chicken white lever mousse, salad, pickles, and chanson." It's delicious. It's too tasty ,,, (homage to Saitama W) Slowly bring the food to your mouth ,,,, and include the wine twice in your mouth. .. .. Did you see this? This is the technique of Ichiko Soden, and I drank it twice (by Reiwa's sake idiot) Who is the master ...? The main is "Inada's poêler" Even though I'm not good at fish sometimes It was really delicious. Hmm ~ ,,, I recommend it here. It's popular, so if you're going with two or more people, it's better to make a reservation for lunch on weekdays. Yes, today is around here, ps this day. I didn't have enough, but I was so busy that lunch wasn't unusual? W Well, live straight, honestly, don't forget your beliefs, and it's definitely good to live hard? Good luck everyone
