BAHRAINIS will be allowed to enter Saudi Arabia using only their Smart Card from today (December 4, 2007).

Saudis will be able to travel to Bahrain using only an identification card, reported Gulf Daily News.

Bahrainis will not be able to travel using their CPR card, but they can still use their passport if they have not been issued with a Smart Card yet.

The move is expected to help alleviate congestion on the King Fahad Causeway, considering last year 14,957,026 people passed across the causeway and this number is projected to significantly increase in the future. – TradeArabia News Service
