Saudis allowed to enter without border procedure after huge traffic congestion

The Kingdom allowed the entry of Saudi citizens without border procedures after huge traffic congestion on the Causeway. The King Fahad Causeway witnessed great congestion with the beginning of the school holiday in Saudi Arabia, it is learnt.

The bridge took more than 300,000 travellers, which led to a rush and a delay in the border procedures that lasted for hours, prompting Bahrain to announce its permission for Saudi passengers to enter its territory via the bridge without any procedures. “On the occasion of the school holiday, the Kingdom of Bahrain will allow the entry of Saudi citizens without border procedures as an exception, in order to ease the traffic and reduce the waiting time,” the King Fahad Public Authority Foundation said on Twitter.
