Bahrain plans to expand its airport, one of the busiest in the Gulf. More than 4.8 million passengers transited Bahrain International Airport in 2005. A modern, busy port offers direct and frequent cargo shipping connections to the U.S., Europe, and the Far East. To boost its competitiveness as a regional center, Bahrain is building a new port and has privatized port operations.

Causeways and bridges connect Bahrain to adjacent islands and the mainland of Saudi Arabia. The oldest causeway, originally constructed in 1929, links Bahrain to Al Muharraq, the second largest island. Although the island is only six kilometers long, the country's second largest city, Al Muharraq, and the international airport are located there. A causeway ... connects Al Muharraq to the tiny island of Jazirat al Azl, the site of a major ship-repair and dry-dock center. On Mubarrak (Muharraq) Island are the towns of Muharraq and Hidd, a few villages, the Dry Dock complex and the Bahrain International Airport.
