Saudi Bahrain causeway, VIP lane
Hi,
Hectic on the Saudi causeway. how do you get a VIP pass? Is it a matter only to apply on the causeway website and pay or you need something special? |

Not a chance mate!!
I thing the standing charge to keep it active of about 10,000 SAR/year but the main cost in getting it is a one time 'donation' to someones charitable cause/back pocket of something in the region of 1m SAR (or so i've heard). Plus according to the website there are only about 2,300 passes been issued! In other words get your wasta & backsheesh ready or wait with the rest of us.... |

Other than that I don't know what you would need I always just went at times when the causeway would not be busy, like early in the morning on a Friday was a good time to go on a weekend |

I concur and here's what I posted in another thread where you asked this:
