Cairo: Fireworks lit up the Cairo sky and Egyptians changed "we did it" as Hosni Mubarak bowed before the unrelenting pro-democracy protests and stepped down from power after ruling the Arab nation for 30 years.
Mubarak handed over power to the Supreme Council for the Armed Forces.
"We did it, we did it," cried a woman protester breaking down in tears at Tahrir Square where countless people had gathered.
"We are liberated," said another Egyptian at the Tahrir Square, now the Liberation Square of Cairo.
Ramy Raoof, a human rights activist said: "Proud to say: Hosni Mubarak, the former President of Egypt."
In the state-run television vice-president Omar Suleiman said the President was waiving his office.
Earlier, protesters gathered across Egypt, including Cairo's Tahrir Square, to demand that President Hosni Mubarak stand down, as the protests entered the 18th day of the pro-democracy uprising.
Egypt's army said it will lift the country's 30-year state of emergency when the "current situation has ended".
According to a New York Times report quoting Western officials, President Hosni Mubarak had earlier left Cairo for his resort home in Sharm el-Sheik, indicating a move to transfer power.
According to Al Arabia News Channel, Mubarak flew out of Cairo to his Red Sea retreat on Friday.
Pro-democracy marches had continued in Egypt and even laid a seige of the state television saying it supports the current government.
Prayers were also held at Tahrir Square where people hollered "Down with Mubarak".
