In Saudi Arabia is located King Fahd Dam, whose general length is 25 km. The opening of the Brückendamm took place in 1986. The bridge was named in honor of the prominent king Fahd bin Abdel Aziz Al Saud. The King of Saudi Arabia participated personally in the bridge of the bridge. The ceremony took place on 11th November 1982. Despite the grand scale of the bridge, which demanded the investment of 1.2 billion US dollars, the project was fully financed by the authorities of Saudi Arabia.

The Autobrücke crosses the Persian Gulf and connects El-Hubara town with Bahrain Island. Bridge construction is considered one of the most complicated in the world. In reality, it is a complex of three great bridges and an artificial islands. The largest artificial island is located in the center of the bridge. It is very large and is very well equipped. This island serves as a border between Saudi Arabia and the Kingdom of Bahrain, on its territory are the transport stations and the transition points and the recreational areas are equipped.

For the tourists, the high tower was built with the lookout platform on the island from which the wonderful panorama opens onto one of the largest bridges in the world. At present, King Fahd Bridge is of great strategic and tourist importance. In 2011 the bridge was actively used by the military for settlement of the unrest in Bahrain. For the tourists the trip over the bridge and the visit of the Kunstinseln have long been an exciting adventure.
