Morocco has nine World Heritage Sites, including Fez, Marrakesh, and Meknes. There are 13 sites on the tentative list. The source is in French so the names are translated, which I believe is acceptable, given that the reference provides the original name. Otherwise, standard style. The nomination for Venezuela is seeing some support so I am adding a second nomination. Tone 08:01, 2 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
