Shaikh Isa Causeway
The causeway with its iconic columns.

Shaikh Isa Causeway, officially known as Shaikh Isa bin Salman Causeway is a causeway in the Kingdom of Bahrain connecting Busaiteen to the Diplomatic Area, near the Seef area. It was constructed to relieve the congestion of the previous bridge connecting Muharraq Island to Bahrain Island. It can be recognized by its triangular white columns.

It is named for the deceased emir of Bahrain, the father of the current king, Shaikh Hamad.
