Route details and transit time from Saudi Arabia to Bahrain
Bahrain is an island, and its only road link is the King Fahd Causeway: 25 km over the Gulf from Khobar to Al Jasra. Midway lies an artificial island housing both Saudi and Bahraini customs, so a shipment is cleared at a single point. Every road shipment from the Kingdom to Bahrain passes through Khobar.
