Ottoman return of Mecca 1813 (also known as the Battle of Mecca) happened several days after the recapture of Jeddah during the Ottoman-Saudi war. Diriyah's army and its 1,000 men in Mecca surrendered to Muhammad Ali of Egypt and Tusun Pasha, who recaptured the city for the Ottoman Empire.[citation needed]
