I love the show Globe Trekker, which is the TV show formerly known as Lonely Planet. I was watching the one where Justine Shapiro goes to Marrakech and she mentioned that the huge market there was on UNESCO's World Heritage List. Kind of like a modern, updated 'Seven Wonders of the World' type thing. Cool. Well, anyway, here is the list for 2007:
