About Emirate of Diriyah
The Sheikhdom of Diriyah, also known as the First Diriyah Emirate, was a city-state in central Arabia from the 14th century to the 17th century. It was the predecessor to the First Saudi State. Its capital was At-Turaif District, and it was centered along the banks of Wadi Hanifa. The state was ruled by the Muraydi dynasty of the Durūʿ clan. Over time, the dynasty divided into two branches, Muqrin and Watban, with the Muqrin branch eventually becoming the sole ruling house and the ancestral line of the House of Saud.
