If you are attacked while seiging one of the cities in egypt (Diospolis Megale i think) you get to fight around the pyramids of Giza, and they're not in the distance either they take up most of the battle map!

There are also spots in Anatolia where if you fight you can see Temple of Artemis, the Mausoleum at Halicarnassus and the Colossos of Rhodes all at once, can't remember if this happens in EB but it definatley did in vanilla.
