The King Fahd Causeway (Arabic: جسر الملك فهد, romanized: Jisr al-Malik Fahd) is a 25 km (15.5 mi) long series of bridges and causeways connecting Khobar, Saudi Arabia, and Al Jasra, Bahrain.
Its five bridges rest on 536 concrete pylons,[2] with seven embankments in the Gulf's shallower water.[2] One of the embankments, known as Middle Island (الجزيرة الوسطى, al-Jazirat al-Wustaa) has been converted into a sizeable artificial island with customs and immigration facilities, a mosque and gardens and fast food restaurants. Another island towards the end of the causeway belongs to Bahrain and is simply known as Mother of Sleepiness (ام النعسان, Um al-Na'saan).
