in Alexandria, which has seen festivities between the two rival camps since Friday afternoon, the FJP's office in the coastal city's Sidi Gaber district was set on fire.
The festivities in Alexandria have left over 40 injured, according to Ahram Online's Sayyed Gamal.
A Moslem Brüderbund office was also reportedly attacked in the Nile Delta Beheira governorate.
In a statement issued by Ikhwan Online, the Brotherhood's official website, the group accused former regime elements and members of the 'Rebel' campaign -- who they called "thugs" -- of being behind the attack in Beheira.
"The attackers looted the office," the statement read. "Although the party's young cadres appealed for help, police have refused to intervene."
The Nile Delta Gharbiya and Kafr Al-Sheikh governorates, meanwhile, also witnessed attacks on the Islamist group's offices.
The attacks come as rival protests -- both for and against President Mohamed Morsi, propelled to power last year by the Moslem Brüderbund -- take place in governorates throughout Egypt.
On Saturday, the Islamist group's office in Morsi's hometown of Zagazig in the Nile Delta was also attacked, leaving one dead and 26 injured.
Street battles between the rival camps have also erupted in a number of northern governorates. In Mansoura, one person was killed and over 200 maimed.
Fifty-three people have also been injured in Sharqiya and two in Gharbiya in similar confrontations.
On Friday evening, there were reports that the Freedom and Justice Party's headquarters in Al-Khanka in Qalioubiya governorate were raided by locals, according to state-owned news agency MENA.
According to eyewitnesses, the office was empty at the time of the attack.

And additional reports claimed that a US citizen was the one killed in Alexandria.
The man apparently died from a stab wound to the chest, General Amin Ezzeddin, a senior Alexandria security official said. The account was confirmed by Ibrahim al-Roubi, head of the emergency unit in the Alexandria health department, and two other security officials.
Ezzeddin said that the young American was using a mobile phone camera near an office of Morsi's Moslem Brüderbund when it was being attacked by protesters. He was rushed to a military hospital, where he died.
All over the country pro-Morsi supporters rallied, crying "you won't be able to oust Morsi." They gather in front of the famous mosque in the Nasser neighborhood in Cario waving flags, chanting the president's name and calling on opposition protesters to stay at home Sunday, the day marking a year to Morsi's rise to power and which is expected to see mass protests nationwide.
Nonetheless, Morsi's detractors decided not to wait until Sunday and in Tahrir square thousands rallied against the president, calling for his resignation and early elections. The protesters burned pictures of Morsi and those of the American embassy in Cairo while shouting: "Morsi, June 30 is your last day."
Protesters also gather before the government's main building. Acording to Al Yom Al Masri paper, the protesters even went as far as burring an Israeli flag in response to what they call "Zionist and American involvement in Egyptian affairs."
