The Royal Palace or Dar Al Mahkzen is the first stop. However, keep in mind that backpacks and professional cameras are not permitted on the Palace grounds.

There is a viewpoint overlooking the Atlantic Ocean at the Kasbah, and there are some people offering to guide you right outside the door, but we ended up doing everything on our own.
You walk through small streets that resemble labyrinths, which is why we get lost several times. The Mausoleum of Mohammed V is the final attraction in Rabat.
