The King Fahd Causeway Will Gradually Reopen From Today
The King Fahd Causeway linking Saudi and Bahrain will gradually reopen.
The road was closed in March to curb the spread of COVID-19 and as both countries ease restrictions, it was announced the road would now reopen and Saudis who are currently in Bahrain may re-enter the kingdom without a permit.
The statement also added that Saudis arriving at Bahrain airport would be still subject to a 10-day quarantine.
While the road was closed, new automated gates were installed on the Saudi side to provide a contactless journey for travellers, according to local reports. From today, Saudi citizens may return home.
