The Muslim conquest of the Maghreb 647 AD to 705 (roughly), and was carried out by the Ummayad Caliphate. It ended with the full subjugation of the indigenous Berber realms, and the near complete eradication of Byzantine presence in Africa (Ceuta survived a while longer as their sole remaining enclave). The Arab Muslims encountered severe resistance from Berber tribes led by Aksel and Kahina. During this period Carthage was also permanently destroyed.
