Egypt's historical pyramids were lit up Sunday night with the colors of French flag to show solidarity with the victims of the Paris terror attacks that left dozens dead.

Standing under Egypt's most renowned landmark, a number of ministers, government officials, ambassadors of foreign countries as well as ordinary citizens, gathered to show tribute to the victims who were killed in Paris attacks Friday.

The Great Pyramid of Khufu, one of the Seven Wonders of the ancient world, was also illuminated with the colors of the Russian flag to show solidarity with the families of the 224 victims who were killed in the airplane that crashed over Egypt's Sinai Peninsula on Oct. 31.

The Lebanese flag was also projected on the Pyramid in tribute to the victims of Thursday's terror attacks that left at least 43 people killed in Beirut.

The event was organized by Egypt's ministries of tourism and antiquities to deliver a solidarity message from the North African country to the innocent lives lost around the world recently.

"We wholeheartedly stand in solidarity with the peoples of France, Russia and Lebanon. We are all united against terrorism," Egypt's minister of tourism Hisham Zazou said during the event.

The minister urged the international community to cooperate and work jointly against the growing terrorism everywhere.

Mourners also lit candles in tribute to the victims from the three countries.

On Friday night, seven coordinated terrorist attacks in Paris killed more than 130 people and injured at least 350, of whom about 100 are in critical situation.

Claimed by the Islamic State (IS) group, the attacks, the deadliest that struck on the French soil since World War II, came after Paris launched military operations against the IS fighters in Syria and Iraq.

"Illuminating the pyramids with the colors of the French flag is very moving. It is a very beautiful expression of showing solidarity from the Egyptians towards the French people. I appreciate it very much," French Ambassador to Egypt, André Parant, told reporters at the event.

Earlier in the day, the embassy of France in Cairo received French, Egyptian and foreign citizens who mourned the victims.

The embassy also opened a condolence registry for the Paris attacks victims for three days starting from Sunday.

Mourners flocked to the embassy in Giza governorate and placed flowers in front of the gate to honor the victims.

"The crime is awful, it is a massacre... Terrorism is spreading and the world should act to stop and eliminate it," Egyptian engineer Heba Bourhan told Xinhua.

She said she wants to deliver a message that the Arabs are suffering from terrorism just the same as the Europeans, stressing that those terrorists do not represent the Arabs or the Muslims.

"We are here to share grief with the French people. We condemn what happened and we are all in Egypt against terror. It is our duty to face this with the power we have," mourner Mohammed Morgan told Xinhua.

Egypt has been facing a rising wave of terrorist attacks since the military ousted former Islamist President Mohammed Morsi in July 2013.

The attacks have targeted security and army staff as well as their premises in the restive Sinai, and then extended to hit the capital and provinces across the country.

The Sinai-based Ansar Bayt al-Maqdis (ABM) militant group, which has changed its name to "Sinai State" and vowed loyalty to the IS, claimed responsibility for most of the terrorist acts.
