[2] The treaty recognized the independence of Ibn Saud and sovereignty over what was then known as the Kingdom of Hejaz and Nejd.

In return, Ibn Saud agreed to stop his forces from attacking and harassing neighbouring British protectorates.

The Treaty of Jeddah also addressed the issue of the Red Sea slave trade of Africans to slavery in the Kingdom of Hejaz.

The King formally agreed to cooperate with the British Legation in fighting the slave trade.

[3] Article 7 of the treaty explicitly stipulated the right of the British Legation in Jeddah to manumitt enslaved Africans seeking asylum,[4] and according to the British Foreign Office, 263 Africans were freed in this way between 1926 and 1938.
