Battle of Jeddah (1813)

The Battle of Jeddah (Turkish: Cidde Muharebesi) was fought in 1813 at the west Arabian port city of Jeddah as part of the Ottoman–Saudi War. The Ottoman army of Tusun Pasha arrived from Medina, and a new army led by his father Mohammed Ali Pasha arrived from Egypt. The combined forces attacked and recaptured the city of Jeddah immediately, and the Ottoman-appointed Sharif was sent to Constantinople as a prisoner. A few days later, these combined forces captured Mecca itself, and Sultan Mahmud II restored Ghalib Efendi as the Sharif of Hejaz. From then on, the region of Hejaz again became a vassal to the Ottomans.
