Ten of the casualties occurred in clashes between security forces and supporters of the Muslim Brotherhood.
Four explosions claimed six lives, with the biggest occurring outside of the city's police headquarters.
The Muslim Brotherhood is being blamed for the bombings, however Ansar Beit al-Maqdis, the local Al Qaeda affiliate, has claimed responsibility.
Saturday marks the third anniversary of Egypt's overthrow of Honsi Mubarak, a tense time for the politically torn country.
