On 29 June 2013, thousands of Egyptians converged on Tahrir Square in Cairo to demonstrate against the Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi, demanding his resignation from office. The demonstrators used the slogan "The people want the ouster of the regime," used in the protests that led to the 2011 revolution. By the 30th, their number had increased to tens of thousands. Similar demonstrations are taking place in other Egyptian cities. The demonstrations are described as being backed by multiple entities, including the Tamarod movement.

On the 1 July, the headquarters of the Muslim Brotherhood in the Moqattam district of Cairo were stormed by protesters.
