The deep-rooted fraternal relations between the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the Kingdom of Bahrain have been distinguished by their historical depth and strengthened by ties of blood, heritage, and a shared destiny, and the leaderships of both countries have, over many decades, been committed to continuously strengthening this relationship and instilling it in the memory of successive generations within the framework of the Gulf Cooperation Council.

This relationship grows stronger day by day and is reflected in numerous joint development projects, and the King Abdullah Medical City project at the university stands as a precious jewel in the golden necklace of cooperation, charity, and development projects between the two countries. It will become a distinguished medical destination and a leading model for improving the quality of health services, as well as for advancing medical education and enhancing its efficiency in the Arabian Gulf region.

In April 2010, the Government of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia granted a gift to the Kingdom of Bahrain in the amount of one billion Saudi riyals to build a medical city in the Kingdom of Bahrain affiliated with the Arabian Gulf University. The Government of the Kingdom of Bahrain also donated a plot of land measuring one million square meters for the construction of the medical city.

King Abdullah Medical City, located in Durrat Al Bahrain in the Southern Governorate of the Kingdom of Bahrain, is a landmark healthcare and academic project of the Arabian Gulf University. The Medical City includes a modern hospital with  inpatient beds,  outpatient clinics, operating theatres, procedure rooms, ICU rooms, and a wide range of specialized facilities. It also features the College of Medicine, specialized medical and research centers, a conference center, residential facilities, commercial services, and a hotel.
