Well basically yes.

What is not confirmed is the procedure on the Saudi side i.e. they announced that to exit, both expats and Saudis need to apply for a travel permit through Absher. However, that page in Absher is not working properly so there is a confusion still.

On the Bahrain side, you will get the visa on arrival on the basis of your Iqama. Then you will pay 60 BD for a Covid test. Till the result comes out, you will have to self isolate (and download and activate the BeAware app). If negative, you are free to move around. Then 10 days later, you will have to do another test if you are in Bahrain.
