King Fahd Causeway (جسر الملك فهد) Key Facts

Location: The King Fahd Causeway runs about 25 km from Al-Aziziyah, south of Khobar in the Eastern Province, to Al-Jasra, west of Manama, Bahrain. Opened in 1986, it’s the only land link between the two countries. At its midpoint sits Passport Island (officially Middle Island), an artificial island housing customs and immigration facilities for both Saudi Arabia and Bahrain.

Faster processing: Since March 2017, travelers clear passport control, vehicle inspection, and customs at a single stop rather than two separate checkpoints. In 2022, KFCA introduced card and mobile payment at the entrance gates, cutting per-vehicle transit time at the toll to about five seconds.

Traffic patterns: The causeway carries roughly 45,000 vehicles on a typical day, rising to 60,000 or more on weekends. Thursday evenings (Saudi to Bahrain) and Friday mornings (Bahrain to Saudi) tend to be the busiest — worth planning around for time-sensitive shipments.
