Marrakesh's main souqs, mosques and zawiyas (saints' shrines) are north of Djemaa el-
Fna, while most of the palaces are south along Rue Riad Zitoun el-Jedid towards the mel-
lah . Turning west at the covered Mellah Market and south along the ramparts, you'll
reach Bab Agnaou , triumphal gateway to the royal kasbah . Inside are gilded tombs of Saadi-
an princes, the royal palace (closed to visitors), and 16 acres of royal gardens dating from
AD 1166.
During Ramadan, official sites may close an hour or two early; souqs are generally
open 9am to 7pm, though many shops are closed on Friday afternoon.
