Chaussée du Roi Fahad - Province de l'Est

Best experience of life to drive on a bridge that is built on sea. Amazing architecture and amazing experience. Sight of sea on both sides of the bridge is just exceptional. At the Bahrain border, lots of parking space is available and many points to eat and have coffee. Good place to visit..

The views are beautiful. Usually busy to cross to Bahrain. I recommend not to cross this bridge during weekends and holidays because it will result to you waiting in the traffic for more than 4 hours.

Awesome really awesome especially when you are passing through the long bridge on sea in air-conditioned car you will feel all good In reality if you down a bit your car window then you will feel extremely humid heat with smell But in closed cold car love to visit again There should be some open space as well to park the car and enjoy with family Benzene was very cheap in Bahrain from 1.4 - 2.0 riyals while in KSA it’s ranging from 2.18 - 2-33 riyals Bridge was very neat and clean Boarder inside staff on Saudi side was helpful while very cooperating and happy staff in windows of Bahrain boarder Saudi border windows staff even especially ladies were very rude

Now. Had a chance to visit King Fahd Causeway AKA- "KFC". Well, that's what the local populace address it "fashionably", so be it. So, this KFC connects Saudi Arabia, Precisely the Al Khobar region in Sharqiya province of East Coast with the nation of Bahrain. To term it just a causeway would be a misnomer as such. It's an entire system on its own complete with all the facilities, malls, eateries, masjids, parking spots, ATM counters and of course, Immigration and Customs. The pictures just don't do justice. Unlike other "bridges" like the Golden Gate of SFO, this one is all inclusive and the authorities of both the kingdoms must be thoroughly complimented for co-operating in unison and giving it's citizens a facility as complete as this. Kudos guys. A job well done. ? -KFC charges are 25 SAR/2.5 BD one-way. Payable by card/cash. - Immigration, Customs is very systematic and a smooth process with clear markings everywhere in English and Arabic. - Eateries, cafes, comfort rooms, parking spaces, public park and masjid. It's all there in the middle island. -Car insurance for entry to Bahrain is compulsory and must be bought from one of the many window counters present right after customs on the Bahraini side. Only downside is the staff of immigration and customs who are not fluent in English. They just don't understand and can't pick up Western accents. You have to tone down your English speaking skills to a basic beginner level, uttering each word with South Asian/Arabic accent.

So many checks points. Please make it one, things are improving except here. Wish to see changes soon ?
