The capture of Yanbu, or Yanbu Landing, was a bloodless confrontation between the Saudis and Ottomans in 1811.[4]
The Ottoman Sultan ordered Mohammed Ali Pasha to start moving against Saudis to re-conquer Mecca and return the honor of the Ottoman Empire. Mohammed Ali sent his son Tusun Pasha with an army of 14,000 as a beginning to land in Yanbu, rendering it a station to re-conquer the other cities. Tusun's forces landed successfully in Yanbu, and the Saudi forces, with a strength of 300 men, surrendered without any losses.
