The Zirids never ruled in Andalusia. This region was dominated by the Umayyads of Córdoba, followed by the Moroccan dynasties of the Almoravids (1086-1147) and the Almohads (1147-1238). The Almoravids unified the Andalusian taifas and pushed back Christian kingdoms, while the Almohads established their capital in Seville, solidifying their control over Andalusia. The Zirids, however, only ruled in North Africa, mainly in Algeria and Tunisia.
