Muhammad Ali of Egypt decides to pursue …
Years: 1816 - 1827
Muhammad Ali of Egypt decides to pursue Abdullah to Najd, sending out another army under the command of his other son, Ibrahim.
The Wahhabis make their stand at the traditional Al Saud capital of Ad Diriyah, where they manage to hold out for two years against superior Egyptian forces and weaponry.
In the end, however, the Wahhabis prove no match for the Egyptian forces, and Ad Diriyah—and Abdullah with it—falls in 1818.
