Likely Gerastos sp. (possibly G. granulosus), belonging to the Order Proetida. In future, you may wish to truncate your title a bit, and simply post the content of the message in the text-entry field.

The most common Moroccan species is: Gerastos tuberculatus marocensisGerastos granulosus is a popular name across the internet, but is not a valid species in Morocco. 

 

Here is a list of Gerastos species from Morocco:
