Morocco Advice

Did a search, not quite getting what I'm after. My 17 year old daughter and her friend have the opportunity to attend a summit at a university in Ben Guerir Morroco in August. The package includes pickup from RAK. In looking at the map and seeing the location in relation to CMN and RAK, and a relatively affordable flight YXU-YUL-CMN, I'm trying to see how easy it is to get from CMN to Ben Guerir. I was looking at the ONCF rail website, as well as options on the CMN site and it seems like they would have to take a 45 minute train up to Casablanca to catch the Marrakesh train. Is there a rail option from the airport going south or other reasonable ground options? Unfortunately, Air Canada doesn't offer a CMN-RAK connection to the above flight, but that flight is significantly cheaper (which is weird to say considering how much flying from London YXU seems to add to any flight out of Toronto or Montreal) and is a much better schedule than basically every other flight I can find.
