The Battle of Yanbu or Yanbu Landing, was a bloodless confrontation between the Saudis and Ottomans in 1811. The Ottoman Sultan ordered Mohammed Ali Pasha to start moving against Saudis to re-conquer Mecca and return the honour of the Ottoman Empire. Mohammed Ali sent his son Tusun Pasha with an army of 10,000 as a beginning to land in Yanbu, rendering it a station to re-conquer the other cities.
Tusun forces landed successfully in Yanbu and the Saudis forces with a strength of just 70 men surrendered without any loses.
