The King Fahd Causeway was inaugurated in 1986 and has since been vital for movement between Saudi Arabia and Bahrain, two members of the six-nation Gulf Cooperation Council.
Domestic workers travelling on a vital bridge from Saudi Arabia to Bahrain must meet certain conditions including being escorted by the employer.
The King Fahd Causeway Authority has pointed out that the house labourers’ transit to Bahrain via the bridge requires they have an exit-return visa, a valid travel document and being accompanied by the employer or the family.
