Approximately 1000 people took part in the march between Sidi Beshr to Asafra district, chanting, "Down with Mubarak... Saudi Arabia is waiting for you Mubarak."

Protesters in Alexandria started moving from Moharram Beik to Mansheya district. Police forces were unable to stop the marchers who moved quickly between the northern city’s districts.

Meanwhile, security dispersed a protest in Minya attended by dozens of youth to participate in the Samalout Governorate where security forces maintained a strong presence in preparation for the Day of Anger protests.

The head of the traffic department in Minya distributed flowers and chocolate to drivers at traffic lights.

Hassan Mourad, head of Minya's security, postponed the city’s Police Day celebrations and instead visited patients at Minya's public hospital, Minya's university hospital, and the Suzanne Mubarak Health Insurance hospital.
