The strategic importance of the King Fahd Causeway

The King Fahd Causeway, officially opened in 1986 and spanning 25 kilometers, is more than just a geographical link between the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the Kingdom of Bahrain; it represents a vital economic and tourism artery that strengthens the fraternal relations between the two brotherly nations. Millions of travelers and vehicles cross the bridge annually, making it one of the busiest land crossings in the Middle East.

These new initiatives contribute to supporting the tourism and intra-regional trade sector, as the discounted packages facilitate the movement of businessmen and tourists, which positively impacts economic growth in the Eastern Province of the Kingdom and Bahrain alike, and strengthens the bonds of social cohesion among the peoples of the Gulf Cooperation Council countries.
