    History

    Saudi Arabia’s history is shaped by its Islamic


    heritage and the ruling Al Saud family. The region
    became central to Islam in the 7th century, with the
    founding of Islam in Mecca and Medina. In the 18th
    century, Muhammad ibn Saud formed an alliance
    with religious reformer Muhammad ibn Abd al-
    Wahhab, establishing the first Saudi state. The
    modern kingdom was unified in 1932 by Abdulaziz Al
    Saud, who used alliances and military campaigns to
    unite the tribes.
