Good point, plus the Saudi's don't care about stamping over their other stamps to confuse the issue, so your passport becomes a mess

I was detained at the Causeway for 30mins on my way from Dammam to Bahrain Airport the other week because they couldn't identify which stamp brought me into KSA, in order to be able to stamp me out.
