How close does the game get to the real place?
In the game
A vast sunken basin of salt pans and cliffs that holds personal places from Bayek and Aya's past.
The real place
The depression reaches about 133 m below sea level and is almost uninhabited. Its northern edge was a Second World War front line, and minefields still remain there.
Visiting
Do not go in without a licensed desert operator and the required permits, because of the remaining landmines and soft salt ground.
