This would also make it much easier for hajj pilgrims to travel from East Africa. As opposed to flying, maybe they can take a bus from Djibouti, through Yemen, and to

Makkat-al-Mukarramah.

they said that the delay was due to the crisis in Yemen and they now expects the agreement to be signed soon. The crossing will be the first bridge to link the Arabian Peninsula with the African continent. Denmark's Cowi has drawn up a preliminary design for the 28.5 kilometers bridge.
