I know an article i read after the derby said they stayed in an rv at churchill, because they are not to drive on the sabbath. I thought it was known by everyone from him being around the sport that he was jewish.
egypt had been a welcoming country regarding religions, and had a large christian population. I think thats changed in the last ddcades, but historically thats been the case.
