    Route guide

    Bahrain to Al Khobar is barely an hour on a clear day, about 50 km, since Khobar is the first city you reach after the King Fahd Causeway. It is a common trip for people landing at Bahrain International and heading to Khobar or Dhahran, for staff who live in Bahrain and work in the Eastern Province, and for visiting family. One car and one driver take you all the way.

    Travel Time & Distance

    Duration

    ~1 hour

    Distance

    ~50 km

    Expect around 1 hour. Most of it is the causeway itself and the Saudi entry checks; once through, Khobar is only a short drive. Sunday mornings and the end of a holiday are when the Saudi-bound lanes tend to be busiest.

    Landing at BAH, sleeping in Khobar

    Many travellers to the Eastern Province fly into Bahrain and finish the trip by road. We track your flight, wait up to 60 minutes after landing at no charge, and take you straight across the causeway. The whole trip from the arrivals hall to your Khobar address is often shorter than the drive from DMM, which sits well north of the city.

    Border Crossing Process

    King Fahd Causeway

    This route crosses the King Fahd Causeway between Bahrain and Saudi Arabia. Unlike other borders, the journey is completed in the same vehicle, without a vehicle change.

    1. 1Arrive at the Bahraini exit checkpoint - passports stamped out
    2. 2Drive across the causeway to the Saudi entry checkpoint
    3. 3Saudi visa and vehicle documentation processed
    4. 4Customs inspection and clearance
    5. 5Continue the short drive into Al Khobar

    Saudi entry on the causeway

    • Bahraini exit first, then Saudi immigration, both on the causeway itself
    • Have your passport and Saudi visa approval ready to show at the window
    • Customs may inspect the car and luggage, so avoid packing anything you are unsure about
    • No car change: your driver continues the short drive to your door in Khobar or Dhahran

    Pick-up in Bahrain, drop-off in Khobar

    We pick up from Manama, Seef, Juffair, Riffa, Amwaj Islands and Bahrain International Airport (BAH). In Saudi Arabia we drop off in Al Khobar, from Al Aqrabiyah and Al Olaya to the Corniche and Half Moon Bay, or in Dhahran.

    Travel Documents & Customs Requirements

    Passengers are responsible for valid passports, visas and entry permits, and compliance with customs rules in every country on the route.

    Is the toll part of the price?
