UNESCO World Heritage Sites visited (A - E)

Watching the Pharaoh's Golden Parade got me thinking that I used to note down the cities I visited on a website (probably Trip Advisor) but for some forgotten reason, I've not kept up with it.

Based on the UNESCO World Heritage List website in Apr, I'm doing a list of UNESCO World Heritage sites visited over the years.  I wonder in the pre-pandemic times if people deliberately drew up travel plans with the aim to visit as many UNESCO World Heritage sites as possible.
