On 11 February 2007, Nasr's lawyer Montasser el-Zayat confirmed that his client had been released and was now back with his family.
In May 2009 Al Arabiya reported that el-Zayat had been invited to defend Mustafa al-Hawsawi, one of the fourteen high-value detainees held at the Guantanamo Bay detention camp, before a Guantanamo military commission.
Zayat Stables has approximately 200 horses, most of which are in training spread among such trainers as Todd Pletcher, Bob Baffert, Steve Asmussen, Tony Dutrow, Mike Mitchell, Reade Baker, and Scott Lake.
The authority of the Chief Rabbinate of Cairo extended to the Jewish communities of Port Said, Mansoura, Banha and Mit Ghamr, whereas Tanta, Damanhur and Kafr El-Zayat were under the jurisdiction of the Chief Rabbinate of Alexandria.
