US Middle East envoy William Burns arrived in Cairo on Friday night, a senior Egyptian official said, as international efforts to resolve Egypt's political crisis ramp up.
Burns, the under secretary of state for the Middle East, has already visited Egypt once since the July 3 ouster of president Mohammed Morsi.
His latest trip comes after EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton visited in a bid to mediate a peaceful solution to the stand-off between Morsi supporters and the army-installed interim government.
