  Riyadh
By the end of the 18th century, Riyadh was part of the First Saudi State, with the capital at Dariyah.
After the destruction of Dariyah in 1818 by the Turks, the capital moved to Riyadh.
The city was seized in 1902 by Abdul Aziz bin Abdul Rahman Al Saud.

As a result of that meeting the two formed an alliance to pursue ideals that set the stage for the establishment of a state that would later become synonymous with Islam, stability and prosperity and would enjoy recognition and influence in the far corners of the world.
During that meeting, Emir Muhammad Bin Saud, the ruler of Dariyah and the central Najd region of the peninsula, and Sheikh Muhammad Bin Abdul Wahhab, a Muslim scholar and reformer, reached a compact to dedicate their lives to restoring the pure teachings of Islam to the Muslim community.
The ruins of Dariyah, named for the first Al-Saud to move to the Wadi Hanifah area from Qatif in the early 15th century - Mani' Al-Muraidi, known as Ibn Dar - have been preserved as a monument to the Saudi commitment to their just cause, refusal to be subjugated by foreign powers and resilience.

In 1744, Abdul Aziz's ancestor Emir Muhammad Ibn Saud, the ruler of Dariyah and the central Najd region, joined forces with Shaikh Muhammad Ibn Abdul Wahhab, a Muslim scholar and reformer, to restore the pure teachings of Islam to the Muslim community.
Within 40 years of the formation of that fateful alliance, the First Saudi State attracted the support of numerous tribes by the purity of Islam it upheld and the simplicity of it's ruling style and control extended over the entire Najd, the central plateau of the peninsula.
This brought devastation to Najd and Dariyah, but shortly after the invader's departure the Saudi leaders transferred their capital to nearby Riyadh.

 Continuity and Change: Twin Attributes of 250 Years of Saudi Rule
By 1788, the Saudi State ruled over the entire Najd, the central plateau of the peninsula and, by the early years of the 19th century, over most of the peninsula, including the holy cities of Makkah and Madinah.
The ruins of Dariyah (top), the ancient Saudi capital and the renovated Masmak Fortress (above) in Riyadh are among Saudi Arabia's most famous historic landmarks.
Another of the attributes that attracted loyal followers to the Saudi State was the cohesion of the ruling family and the smooth transfer of power from one ruler to the next - unique characteristics at a time when most other ruling houses in the peninsula were steeped in factional fighting and grabs for power.

The Dariyah granite, quarried for the use as a façade for the Holy Mosques in Makkah and Al-Madinah, belongs to the late-stage plutonics of the Arabian Shield (585 ± 8 Ma).
The post-tectonic Dariyah batholith granites were intruded at 585 ± 8 Ma in the late Proterozoic (650-615 Ma) Murdama group, a back-arc basin filled up with clastic sedimentary rocks with minor limestone and volcanic rocks.
The higher levels of Rb, Na, La, Ce and Sm, the marked depletion of Ba, Sr, and Ti and the strong Eu negative anomaly are all indicative of in-situ fractionation of the Dariyah rocks after intrusion into higher levels of crust.

 Sharon's Asylum: Engaging moderate Islam
The same powerful tribe that produced the Khawarij, the Banu Tamim, was to produce al-Wahhab over a thousand years later.
Al-Wahhab’s political partner was Muhammad ibn Saud, a rebel leader of the village of Dariyah in Najd known chiefly for its primary economic activity – banditry.
A series of daughter-swapping between the two clans ensued to cement the alliance, and today’s House of Saud represents the exalted union of these two lineages.

 Fahrenheit 911 and Propaganda, Saudi Security
Today’s capital, Riyadh, lies near Dariyah, where a pact was struck in 1744 between the village’s 70-household ruler, Muhammad ibn Saud, and a refugee cleric named Muhammad Abd al-Wahhab.
The deal between the two men was that the Saudi family would exercise political power while the Wahhabis ensured the spiritual purity of Saudi rule through forcible adherence to the Unitarian or Wahhabi way.
Even when the Turks literally laid waste the Saudi ancestral home village Dariyah in 1818, or Ibn Rashid (of the Shammar tribe) took Ridayh from them in 1891, the Saudis did not despair.

Muslims, al-Wahhab taught, should study the words of Allah by reading the Koran themselves and should engage in ijtihad, “independent reasoning.” His was a back-to-basics Puritanism intended to restore the freedom of thought that characterized Islam during the Golden Age of science and learning at its dawn.
As the sword of this religious revival, the Saud clan from its Dariyah homeland near today’s capital city Riyadh gained support and religious fervor.
It won victories and territory from rivals and the Ottomans, capturing most of modern Saudi Arabia by 1843.

 TIME.com: The House of Saud: Solidarity Forever -- May 22, 1978 -- Page 1
More than a clan, less than a tribe, the House of Saud has a solidarity that accounts in large measure for Saudi Arabia's political stability today.
The ruling family dates back to the 18th century, when the head of the tiny emirate of Dariyah (near Riyadh), Mohammed ibn Saud, formed an alliance with Mohammed ibn Abdul Wahhab, the fiery leader of a puritanical Islamic movement; his Wahhabi sect still holds sway in Saudi Arabia.
This combination of tribal military skill and religious fanaticism did dominate central Arabia for 75 years, until it was crushed by an invading Egyptian army acting at the behest of the Ottoman rulers in Constantinople.
