Alexandria , home of Khaled Saeed , experienced major protests and clashes with police . There were few confrontations between demonstrators , since there were few Mubarak supporters ( except for a few police-escorted convoys ) . The breakdown of law and order , including the general absence of police from the streets , continued until the evening of 3 February . Alexandria 's protests were notable for the joint presence of Christians and Muslims in the events following the church bombing on 1 January , which sparked protests against the Mubarak regime
