If you want to get out of the big cities for a bit, I'd highly recommend a weekend of trekking around the Middle Atlas mountains - there's this town called Itzer, between Midelt and Azrou, that's surrounded by plateaus, a volcano, and the beginnings of the dramatically beautiful high Atlas mountains.  We happened upon this great Association in Itzer that uses the profits from its trekking weekend trips to fund humanitarian and development projects in the area, "Atlas Fil et Couleur".  It was actually extremely cheap (240 dH) and included room, board and guided trekking for a whole weekend.  The guides were extremely enthusiastic, spoke pretty good English and we had a fantastic time.  They also weave natural, traditional Berber carpets and other crafts.
