Manama : The embassy of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in Bahrain today announced that its citizens can return to the Kingdom via the King Fahd Causeway without prior permission, as of Thursday 23 July 2020. Saudi citizens who wish to return to Saudi Arabia should comply with the precautionary measures in force in the Kingdom.

The reopening of the causeway comes as Bahrain and Saudi ease COVID-19 restrictions. The 25km-long causeway linking Saudi Arabia and Bahrain is instrumental to economic and tourism activities in both countries. Last year Bahrain received a total of 11.1 million visitors, with 88% are coming through the King Fahad causeway, accounting for 9.7 million visitors.
