The Horn of Africa region in the east of this continent consists of four countries: Somalia, Ethiopia, Eritrea and Djibouti. Due to its geographical, geopolitical, strategic, geostrategic, geo-economics, etc. features, this region has always been of interest to regional and extra-regional actors. Each of the actors is trying to exert influence in this region and its countries and nations according to their national and strategic interests. Saudi Arabia is one of the active regional actors in the countries of the Horn of Africa. It seems that, in addition to its political, economic, military and security goals, this country pursues the promotion of its ideology and thinking, that is, Wahhabism. This research aims to investigate the ideological actions of Saudi Arabia in the countries of the Horn of Africa with the descriptive-analytical method and using library sources. The results show that Saudi Arabia is trying to promote Wahhabism among the Horn of Africa Muslims by spending financial expenses in the form of education, creating educational infrastructures, supporting Wahhabi groups, etc.
