The Battle of Khakeekera (Arabic: معركة خكيكرة) was a naval battle that took place in March 1811 between the combined forces of Bahrain (led by Abdullah bin Ahmad Al Khalifa) and Kuwait (led by Jaber I Al-Sabah) on one side, and those of the Emirate of Diriyah (or First Saudi State) led by Rahmah ibn Jabir al-Jalhami, the pirate Arab ruler of Dammam and some villages in Qatar, on the other. The battle took place northwest of Qatar and ended with a Bahraini-Kuwaiti victory.[1]
