Egyptians who took part in the revolution of 2011, saying he was a corrupt dictator. You hold him responsible for the problems Egypt is suffering at the moment.

"It's all part of his terrible legacy," a young man said.

Some people on Social Media wondered why Mubarak was given a burial, as he had been convicted of corruption. She compared his treatment of his deposed successor Mohammed Mursi, who died last year, while in court, and was buried overnight, with only a few members of His Family present.

Morsi was an Islamist, but, while Mubarak was one of the Military - an institution that has dominated Egypt 's political scene for More Than six decades.

While some Egyptians Mubarak's consider a figure from The Past , that a considerable number believe that the time when he was in power, was better than it is now. You say that he left a small space for freedom of expression, in contrast to the current President.

President Abdul Fattah al-Sisi has expressed "deep condolences" for Mubarak's family.

A statement paid tribute to his Military service during the 1973 Arab-Israeli war. But to not mention it, his time as President.

"[He was] one of The Heroes of the glorious October war, when he'd made the Air Force led during The War , and proud of the Arab nation," it said.

Egypt 's top Military officials were expected to attend The Funeral

Mr Sisi to participate served as Mubarak's Military Intelligence chief, and led to the Military overthrow of his democratically elected successor, Mohammed Morsi, in 2013.

Since then, he has overseen an unprecedented crackdown on dissent, in which tens of thousands of people were arrested according to reports in the festival, hundreds have been disappeared, preliminary deaths sentences, and hundreds more handed down.
