geez....this is a new one to me. I don't think I ever heard anything about horse racing in Egypt. Sorry!!!
There has been horse racing at the Gizera Club in Zamalek for as long as I've lived here. If you research old Egypt Today issues, you might find an article on it. Google Egypt Today magazine and then do a search for horse racing and see if any thing pops up. I don't know if it happens every Friday, or just on Fridays at certain times of the year, or exactly what. I do know that one day I was walking from the Metro station to the Marriott one day - past the track at the club and watched some trainer working with a horse teaching it to break out of a gate for some time. It was interesting.
One last comment is that I've heard, but have NO idea if it is true, that they even allow betting on the races when they have them.
At the Gizera Club?? Really? I was only there once - for a Tae Kwon Do competition - but I didn't realize the place had a race track!
Yep they do.
