Which two countries are connected by the King Fahd Causeway?
The King Fahd Causeway is a series of bridges and causeways connecting Saudi Arabia and Bahrain. The idea of constructing the causeway was based on improving the links and bonds between Saudi Arabia and Bahrain. Surveying of the maritime began in 1968, and construction began in 1981 and continued until 1986 when it was officially opened to the public.
The project cost a total of US$800 million (SAR3 billion). Al-Muhandis Nizar Kurdi Consulting Engineers was the sole Saudi partner of the consulting group (Saudi Danish Consultants) which completed the study, design and construction supervision of the Causeway.

Carol Whites can do better this. She has proven so in the past. I really don't understand why or how the other options gained such traction, especially the 20% for Israel and Jordan (cooperatively working with the King of Saudi Arabia, no less).
Almost as bad in concept is a roadway between Zimbabwe and Zambia (4%). Then there is also the "waterway"(?) from Denmark to Sweden (6%).

Given that Fahd was a king of Saudi Arabia, there was only one logical answer.

I believe that the late King Fahd was the Saudi monarch who agreed to allow US troops to come to his kingdom in “Operation Desert Shield”.
