The two men released a video, captioned “spread it as far as you can”, and spoke in both English and Arabic in a crafty bid to increase the global resonance of their message, preaching the importance of tawhid, or indivisible “oneness” of God.
The video was tweeted out by other Saudi supporters also aware of opportunities created by the incoming stream of foreign tourists.
“Tourists are beginning to flock to our country, and preachers will call them to God,” tweeted one Saudi.
“God, clear their path, and bless their efforts, their work and their lives, and may Islam and Muslims help them,” they added.

However as part of crown prince Mohammed bin Salman’s “Vision 2030” reforms programme, tourist visas began being issued in September.
Some 24,000 tourists have since entered the country using the new visas, according to Saudi state television, with most of the visitors coming from China.
