Security measures have been beefed up in Behira and Suez to secure vital establishments and police stations ahead of the final verdict in the retrial of former president Hosni Mubarak.
Mubarak is being retried on charges of complicity in the killing of around 850 unarmed protesters during the 2011 uprising that ended his 30-year rule. His sons Gamal and Alaa, Mubarak-era interior minister Habib el-Adly, and six of his aides are also being tried.
