Margaret Nydell has a series of books "From Modern Standard Arabic to  
______Dialect" which covers most of the major dialects, including  
Moroccan.  They are listed on her georgetown CV under:

Amazon doesn't seem to have them but they must be available somehow.

You might want to check out (if you have access) to the dialect  
materials put out by the Defense Language Institute -- I am aware of  
three: "Syrian", Egyptian, and Iraqi. The materials are dated, but  
well-written, and they were created for those who already had a year  
of intensive MSA to begin with, in that they made a point of showing  
divergences between MSA and the dialects. Dil Parkinson had also  
created a two-volume Egyptian course some time ago, again, I believe  
making the assumption that students already had some facility with  
MSA (do you still have any of those around?).

I have a Word file of SIL's "Juba Arabic for Beginners" and  
permission to share it, if you're interested in Southern Sudanese  
Colloquial Arabic. It's transliterated, but my impression is that  
that's the custom in the region. I'm replying to the whole list in  
case anyone else wants it -- email me offlist and I'll send you the  
file.

And I'm a relatively advanced MSA student taking a Colloquial  
Egyptian speaking course from Arab Academy via Skype; instruction is  
one-on-one and tailored to my needs and interests. I don't know if  
they have teachers who are native speakers of other colloquials, but  
it might be worth inquiring.
