Review of King Fahad Causeway Authority ...

If you are going to Bahrain on a weekend or specia...

If you are going to Bahrain on a weekend or special holidays, be ready for hours of waiting to process your entrance.
A lot of times the employees working the first booths and also the passport officers are not polite, regardless what your nationality is, but if you are a foreigner they will be worse.
If you leave early in the morning, make it there before 8:30 am you will be able to get through easily.
Once you are done with the Saudi side , and make your way to the Bahraini side , there is a bottle neck which is really bad when there is traffic crowd, and I feel it's worse as you are returning from Bahrain.
I'm not sure why they constructed it that way, in stead of leaving it a straight road connecting the isles and rows together.
Now they have different angled booth, which should have eased the traffic jam, but you still end up waiting for a long time.
Just keep in mind the long wait if you have older family members in the car with you, the long period of time sitting will affect them.
On the Bahrain side, a lot of the times the passport officers are rude, and when you greet them they don't reply back.
The customs are ok.
