Tony,
Whether practicing or not, your friend shouldn't have any problem at all. There is actually a long history of Jewish communities in Morocco and Mauritania although a lot chose to move after the creation of Israel.
There's some background info here.
Added to that, Jews and Christians are regarded in Islam as " people of the book" whose religions are generally respected within Islamic communities. Jerusalem prior to the creation of the state of Israel was an example of one such city in which all three religions co-existed peacefully.
Have a great trip.
Stephan
