Yes the moors were primary berbers ethnically being close to the people of Morocco, Algeria, Libya etc. What confuses many is that Moorish usually referred to anyone of Muslim stock for example the black mercenaries and slaves used in the first invasion of Spain were referred to as moors despite having little in common culturally with the Berbers besides both being Muslims. Now there are rare exceptions such as the

who were of african stock that was berberfied the region inside the desert being where this branch of Berbers originate from being taught by a prominent conservative scholar of Islam who grew discontent with ruling Muslims of the upper regions including Spain seeing them as not pure enough in their following of Islam.
