Sara bint Ahmed was a member of the Al Sudairi family, who are part of the Dawasir tribe[4] settled in Al Ghat, an oasis town located in central Arabia nearly 250 kilometers northwest of Riyadh.[5]
Sara's mother was Hessa bint Muhanna bin Saleh Al Nuwairan.[6] Her father was Ahmed bin Muhammad bin Turki bin Suleiman Al Sudairi, who was nicknamed Ahmed Al Kabeer (The Great).[7] He was assigned by Faisal bin Turki, the ruler of the Second Saudi State, to different regions as an administrator, including Al Ahsa where Sara was born.[7] He also served in Al Ghat and Buraimi before his death in 1860.[8] Sara's uncle, Abdullah bin Muhammad, also served in Al Ahsa, as its governor, under Faisal bin Turki.[9]
Sara had six brothers: Muhammad, Turki, Abdul Mohsen, Abdulaziz, Saad, and Abdul Rahman, and two sisters, Falwa and Noura.[7] Of them, Muhammad, was made the governor of Al Ahsa following the death of his father, who had been in the post until his death.[10] Another, Turki, was the governor of Saudi Oman.[10] Sara's sister Falwa married Muhammad bin Faisal bin Turki, and Noura was the spouse of Jiluwi bin Turki bin Abdullah.[7][10] Noura and Jiluwi were the paternal grandparents of Al Jawhara bint Musaed who was the mother of King Khalid, Prince Muhammad and Princess Al Anoud.[11]
Sara's first husband, Abdullah bin Hamad bin Abdul Jabbar, died, and they did not have any children.[12] Then she married Abdul Rahman bin Faisal.[5][10] Her children from this second marriage were Faisal, Noura, Abdulaziz, Bazza, Haya and Saad.[13] She accompanied her husband and children when they were forced to leave Riyadh in 1891.[12]
Sara was a tall woman like her son, Abdulaziz.[12] She died in Riyadh in late 1910.[12][13][14] However, there is another report stating her death year as 1908.[5] She was buried in Al Oud cemetery in Riyadh.[12]
