The King Fahd Causeway, the series of bridges connecting Bahrain to Saudi Arabia, remains a vital link for the Kingdom, carrying millions of travellers and a steady flow of trade each year.
The crossing has tied Bahrain closely to its much larger neighbour, supporting tourism, commerce and daily movement between the two countries.
Plans for additional links, including a proposed rail connection, point to the enduring importance of the corridor.
The causeway is a physical symbol of Bahrain’s integration with the wider Gulf.
