Timeline

1. 1133–1136Haouz plain · MoroccoAfter their victory at Bouhraoua, the Almohads controlled outlying strongholds of the Haouz plain, cutting supply lines between Marrakesh and Fez in the north and the Sous in the south, leaving the Almoravid capital strategically isolated.
2. 1136–1139Sous corridor · SousIn newly captured towns of the Sous and Draa valley, the Almohads carried out taghlid screening, appointed local governors (hakims), and settled loyal tribes, replacing Almoravid Maliki orthodoxy with Almohad doctrine.
3. 1139–1140Marrakesh · MoroccoBy around 1140 the Almohads had essentially controlled the pastoral and farming areas and trade-route nodes around Marrakesh, encircling the Almoravid regime within the city and laying the regional groundwork for the later siege and decisive battle.
