Egypt was the last stop on the U.S. president's eight-day trip to the Middle East, his first since he came into office in 2001.
The U.S. president met briefly with Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak at the Red Sea resort of Sharm el-Sheikh on Wednesday before heading back to Washington.
Ahead of the Bush visit, around 150 journalists had already staged a protest against "American imperialism", chanting slogans in which president Bush was denounced as a "war criminal" because of the 2003 invasion of Iraq and U.S. policy in the region in general.
The protest was held on the steps of the Egyptian journalists' syndicate.
