Overland Travel Across Borders: A Tale of Two Frontiers
King Fahd Causeway Passport Island Gulf Lifeline
The border between Bahrain and Saudi Arabia is a singular feat of engineering: the 25-kilometer King Fahd Causeway. This series of bridges and viaducts is more than just a transportation link; it is a social and economic lifeline that physically connects the island nation of Bahrain to the Arabian mainland. Your crossing is a drive over the turquoise waters of the Persian Gulf.

The entire border process takes place on a single, purpose-built artificial island situated in the middle of the causeway. This “Passport Island” houses the customs and immigration facilities for both kingdoms, complete with mosques, restaurants, and service stations, making it a destination in its own right.
