If convicted, Mubarak could face the death penalty.
The 83-year-old former president, looking frail and gaunt, denied the charges, which could carry the death penalty.
Mubarak is the first Arab leader to stand trial in person since popular uprisings swept the Middle East this year.
The prosecutor said Mubarak "had the intention to kill" peaceful protesters during an 18-day revolt that toppled him on February 11 and during the previous decade.
He accused Mubarak of allowing former Interior Minister Habib al-Adli to use live ammunition on protesters, and also charged him with corruption and wasting public funds.
About 850 people were killed during the unrest.
A military council led by a long-serving defense minister, Field Marshal Mohamed Hussein Tantawi, took over when Mubarak quit. It has promised a transition to democracy in the Arab world's most populous nation -- a process far from complete.
Mubarak's lawyer asked for Tantawi to be summoned as a witness in the trial, echoing a demand lodged by Adli's counsel, who had also asked for former intelligence chief Omar Suleiman and other political and military officials to testify.
