Anwar Sadat was buried in the desert at Cairo under a scorching sun. The former president, hailed as a hero of war and peace, was mourned by supporters and denounced by Arab foes as a traitor.
A phalanx of world leaders including three American presidents and Israel's premier attended Anwar Sadat's funeral in Nasr. The coffin lay in a white marble tomb above a black memorial while Mubarak and Gamal Sadat walked in procession. A crowd chanted and mourners sobbed as Haig Nixon Ford and Carter led the American delegation. Begin attended on foot due to the Sabbath, security was tight, and mosques offered prayers as the nation mourned.
Vice President George Bush urged support for an $8.5 billion Saudi arms package including AWACS planes and F-15 weaponry at the National Press Club.

Bush framed the sale as essential to deter Soviet influence and defend friendly Arab states.
Prime Minister Begin of Israel, observing the Jewish sabbath, walked to Anwar Sadat's funeral in Nasr City. Accompanied by guards, he traveled from the Hyatt Hotel to the procession route. The act recalled Churchill’s tribute at his 1965 funeral.
