A Qatari and a Moroccan will probably opt for a white (or intellectual) dialect instead of Egyptian; where they will start to swap out words of their dialect with ones from MSA and apply their accent to it.

If a Moroccan was talking to me I would ask them to swap to French (I don't speak French, but I have a better chance)
