However since the beginning both were rivals because they are different ideologies one is Sufi mystical and the other is Puritanical. Of course politics are all different. KSA also supports the tribal populations that it see to be extension of itself, especially in Syria and Iraq. Like said the alliances in the ME are complex and their always shift.
