Passport Island, Artificial island and border crossing in Gulf of Bahrain.

Located in the Gulf of Bahrain, King Fahd Passport Island spans 2.5 kilometers and consists of two sections connected by a narrow strip of land.

The construction of Passport Island in 1986 established the first land connection between Bahrain and Saudi Arabia through the King Fahd Causeway project.

Two mosques stand on opposite sides of the island, representing the religious practices of both Bahrain and Saudi Arabia at this international crossing point.

Immigration and customs facilities process approximately 27,000 vehicles daily, with additional services including restaurants, observation towers, and rest areas.

The island operates under dual administration, with its western section belonging to Saudi Arabia and its eastern part controlled by Bahrain.

Part of: Bahrain
