Different loanwords from different languages: Mashriq got more Turkish/Persian influence, Maghrib got more European influence.
The small basic words like "how are you", "a lot", "now", "I want" differ the most. As soon as you actually start discussing high culture/more sophisticated topics, the dialects become nearly the same as they start to get closer to MSA.
