Overview
The second Saudi state (Arabic: الدَّوْلَةُ السُّعُودِيَّةُ الثَّانِيَةُ, romanized: ad-Dawla as-Suʿūdiyya ath-Thāniyya), officially known as the Emirate of Najd, was a state that existed between 1824 and 1891 in the Najd region of what is now Saudi Arabia. Saudi rule was restored to central (Najd) and Eastern Arabia after the first Saudi state having previously been brought down by the Ottoman Empire's Egypt Eyalet in the Ottoman–Wahhabi War.
