This is King Fahd Causeway linking Bahrain with Saudi Arabia. It was completed in November 1986 at a cost of US$1.2 billion and is 15.5 miles (25 km) long. We drove to the middle of the causeway to an island that is shared by both Bahrain and Saudi Arabia:

Then off to Al Alreen Wildlife Reserve which is located in the southern part of Bahrain and spans 8 square kilometers. In the reserve, herds of Arabian mammals such as the Arabian Oryx and the Reem Gazelle inhabit the reserve, which also attracts at least 15 species of resident birds and over 80 migratory species.

At the bird sanctuary, we saw some very friendly crested cranes:
