Egypt's cabinet is set to discuss the crisis in the country, where hundreds have died in clashes in recent days.
The interim prime minister has put forward a proposal to legally dissolve the Muslim Brotherhood.
Its members are key supporters of Mohammed Morsi, whose ousting as president sparked Egypt's stand-off.
The interim government is continuing to crack down on protests by the Brotherhood, but more demonstrations are planned around Cairo on Sunday.
The pro-Morsi Anti-Coup Alliance announced plans for six marches in Giza, near Cairo. They will start at mosques after prayers at 14:00 GMT and converge on the Supreme Constitutional Court in Maadi.
Security has been tightened around the court building.
Three other marches in Cairo at the same time will head towards Heliopolis, where there will be a news conference by the alliance.

The Brotherhood has called for daily demonstrations since security forces cleared its protest camps in Cairo on Wednesday, leaving hundreds of people dead.
Further clashes on Friday killed at least another 173 people across the country.
Meanwhile, the European Union has announced it will "urgently review" its relations with Egypt.
'Spread insecurity'The cabinet meeting will discuss a proposal by interim Prime Minister Hazem Beblawi for a new ban on the Brotherhood.
The Brotherhood has always technically been banned - it was dissolved in 1954 by Egypt's military rulers. But it recently registered itself as a non-governmental organisation.
The BBC's Bethany Bell in Cairo says that if a new ban went ahead it could force the group underground and allow its sources of funding to be targeted.
Deputy interim PM Ziad Bahaa el-Din, a more liberal figure, will put forward a proposal that would see an end to the current state of emergency, permission for political participation by all parties and a guarantee of human rights.
But Mr Beblawi has taken a tougher stance, saying: "There will be no reconciliation with those whose hands have been stained with blood and who turned weapons against the state and its institutions."
And at a news conference on Sunday, the interim foreign minister, Nabil Fahmy, introduced video clips apparently showing armed protesters firing in Cairo.
He said the government was faced with an attempt to undermine the state.
He said: "It was all meant to intimidate citizens. It was meant to spread insecurity and shake the foundation of the state. None of these goals is acceptable and we stood up and we will continue to stand up to all these violent acts in accordance with the law - firmly, strictly and with prudence."
More than 1,000 Muslim Brotherhood members have been detained in raids across the country, with the interior ministry saying that bombs, weapons and ammunition have been seized.
Dozens more leaders were detained across the country on Sunday, a security source told BBC Arabic.
Many protesters were arrested after an exchange of fire on Saturday with security forces in a Cairo mosque where they had barricaded themselves in.
The Brotherhood says Mr Morsi is the country's elected leader and must be reinstated, calling the interim administration illegitimate.
It says that sons and daughters of leadership figures have been targeted in an attempt to gain leverage over the organisation.
Among those killed on Friday was a son of the Brotherhood's spiritual leader, Mohamed Badie.
On Sunday the EU, a major trading partner and aid source for Egypt, said it was urgently reviewing its ties.
It is expected to hold an emergency meeting next week.
The presidents of the European Commission and European Council, Jose Manuel Barroso and Herman Van Rompuy, said in a joint statement that the violence "cannot be justified nor condoned" and that it was the responsibility of the military to end it.
