When in Rome ...
Travel agents will advise you of everything from customs, tipping and where to avoid the water. Travelocity even offers info like this.
And Logan, as for the question, would we "deny Arab visitors the ability to pray or to fast if they were visiting?", it's doubtful. We have Muslims and people of many other faiths throughout this not-so-shabby country of ours. We have few laws against praying, no laws about fasting. But just as we can't plead ignorance of their laws, they follow our rules when they're here.
