Egyptian president Mohamed Mursi has declared a 30-day state of emergency and a curfew in three Suez Canal cities.
He also called for dialogue with political forces to resolve the country's latest crisis, which has seen 45 people killed in violent scenes this weekend.
He said a curfew would be introduced in Port Said, Ismailia and Suez starting on Monday from 9:00pm (1900 GMT) to 6:00am (0400 GMT).
