Moroccan literature flourished in the Almoravid period.
The political unification of Morocco and al-Andalus under the Almoravid dynasty rapidly accelerated the cultural interchange between the two continents, beginning when Yusuf Bin Tashfiin sent al-Mu'tamid Bin Abbad, former poet king of the Taifa of Seville, into exile in Tangier and ultimately Aghmat.

The historians Ibn Hayyan, Al-Bakri, Ibn Bassam, and al-Fath ibn Khaqan all lived in the Almoravid period.

In the Almoravid period two writers stand out: Ayyad ben Moussa and Ibn Bajja.
Ayyad is known for having authored Kitāb al-Shifāʾ bīTaʾrif Ḥuqūq al-Muṣṭafá.
Many of the Seven Saints of Marrakesh were men of letters.

The muwashshah was an important form of poetry and music in the Almoravid period.
Great poets from the period are mentioned in anthologies such as Kharidat al Qasar, Al Mutrib, and Mu'jam as-Sifr.

The Moroccan historian Muhammad al-Manuni noted that there were 104 paper mills in Fes under Yusuf Ibn Tashfin in the 11th century.
