Saudi Arabia actually has several different dialects depending on where in the country you are. Hejazi, which comes from the northwest is the most dissimilar to Emirati Arabic (what they speak in Dubai). There are also Bedouin versions of Arabic and some Yemeni and Omani spillover near those borders. While the Saudi dialects are different than the Emirati dialect, it is not difficult to communicate with an Emirati even if you speak Hejazi and vice versa.

No in Morocco most people speak a dialect called "darija" or also called Moroccan Arabic , although the news and the official language is classical arabic which is the one spoken in Saudi Arabia, only very few people speak it , it is close one another but still different. Also many people speak french, and spanish in the north as its very near to Spain.

Moroccan "Darija Maghribiya" (دريجة مغربية) is quite different from Proper Arabic called "Fus-ha" (فصحة) while the Saudi dialect, "3amiya Saudiyya" (عامية سعودية), is relatively close to "Fus-ha". The difference between these two dialects is roughly the dissimilarity between Spanish and Portuguese. Since most of the media in Morocco comes from Egypt or the Middle East (such as Qatar, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, etc.), most Moroccans can understand those dialects relatively well. Arabs who visit Morocco have a much harder time of it since they have no exposure to Moroccan Arabic prior to arrival. Some even revert to using French as a lingua franca since it does not "change between countries".
