Answer
Ibn Saud's family was exiled from Riyadh by local rival tribes in 1890. The reason for the exile is unknown, but it is likely that the tribes were unhappy with Ibn Saud's father, Abdul Rahman Al Saud, who had been the ruler of Riyadh since 1871. The exile lasted for eight years, during which time Ibn Saud and his family lived in Kuwait.
