Rami Siyam was detained in downtown Cairo early Sunday for questioning, a police officer said, speaking on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to the media.
He is at least the fifth blogger Egypt has detained this year.
Later he was transferred to the Delta Nile city of Belbeis for further interrogation.
