The United States embassy has advised its citizens who currently reside in Egypt to avoid areas of demonstrations planned for today.
Even the demonstrations that are meant to be peaceful may turn violent, the embassy warned.
Several Islamist parties had called for rallying today to voice support for President Mohamed Mursi.
"The gatherings are publicized as peaceful though the potential for violence exists," the embassy wrote on its website.
