Who wouldn’t be intrigued by exotic and unique lands, or the mysterious legacies of civilizations long gone, or perhaps the exceptional creations of today’s man? We have all probably dreamt about discovering and getting to know the many natural and man-made wonders of our world.

Currently there are around a thousand sensational places on Earth that are unique from a natural or a cultural perspective. In 1952 UNESCO started an international campaign to save the monumental sites of Egypt-Nubia. This lead to the creation of the World Heritage Convention in 1972 that has since become a worldwide movement. The convention protects universally significant properties by obliging the countries joining the convention to undertake global responsibility for the protection of sites contained on the World Heritage List.
