Passport Island

Saudi Arabia / as-Sarqiyah / al-Hubar / King Fahad causeway
 island, border checkpoint
The 25km-long King Fahad Causeway links Bahrain and Saudi Arabia and is one of the longest bridges between two countries in the world.

Most visitors will need a visa to actually cross into Saudi Arabia, but don't let that stop you from driving down the causeway up to the midway point.

It's an enjoyable drive across the waters, especially if you plan the trip between mid-morning and early evening when the traffic is light.
