Saudi crown prince’s Bahrain visit puts a time-tested relationship in the limelight
Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman’s visit to Bahrain, his latest stop on a tour of the Gulf states, is expected to cement ties between the two kingdoms, with both witnessing strong reciprocal trade and a burgeoning tourism sector.
Saudi Arabia, the largest GCC market, is just 40 minutes from Bahrain via the King Fahd Causeway and has long ranked first among countries receiving Bahraini exports, importing goods worth $140 million in October 2021 alone.
The King Fahd Causeway is among the most significant construction achievements in the region. Since its opening in 1986, it has helped to strengthen relations between Saudi Arabia and Bahrain. Around 390 million users have traveled along the causeway since it opened.
