You should be able to get to the border with Mauretania no problem in a week but it wont give you a huge amount of time for exploring dirt roads in Morocco, although you might manage a day or two. Chris Scotts 'Sahara Overland' has some good pistes which can be done in a day or so. Perhaps an idea would be to head straight for Dakar and see how much time you have left on the way back for exploring. If you are planning in crossing to Dakar remember to check the situation regarding crossing back north from Mauritania to Morocco as I think it might not be 'officially' possible which could cause problems! There is a travel advisory whatsit on this site regarding the Atlantic route.
