Sharif of Mecca
The Sharifate came to an end shortly after the reign of Hussein bin Ali , who ruled from 1908 , who rebelled against the Ottoman rule during the Arab Revolt of 1916 . After the defeat of the Ottoman Empire in 1918 and its subsequent dissolution in 1923 , Hussein declared himself Caliph . The British granted control over the newly formed states of Iraq and Transjordan to his sons Faisal and Abdullah . In 1924 , however , in the face of increasing attacks by Ibn Saud , Hussein abdicated his secular titles to his eldest son , Ali bin Hussein , who was to become the last Grand Sharif .
