Saudi Arabia's ambassador returned to Cairo last week signalling an end to a political crisis that was sparked when an Egyptian lawyer was arrested at Jeddah Airport three weeks ago.
Ambassador Ahmed Kattan was recalled a week earlier after protesters converged on the Saudi embassy in Giza and demanded the release of Ahmed El Gizawy.
Some of the protesters carried banners and shouted disparaging remarks against the Saudi King. Egyptian and Saudi media traded barbs for a few days while the Kingdom closed its Cairo embassy, and Alexandria and Suez consulates.
