Morsi was transferred to a maximum security prison in a remote desert area near Alexandria, Egypt's second city, after his first trial session was adjourned to January 8.
It was his first appearance following his July ouster. Since then, he has been held in a secret military facility.
Upon arrival to the prison, the 62-year-old Morsi complained of high blood pressure and high blood sugar, officials said today, speaking anonymously because they were not authorised to brief reporters.
