	The '''Qattara Depression''' is a ~~geographical~~ depression in the northwest region of [[Egypt]]. Aside from [[Hotep Cavern]], the final resting place of [[Hidden Ones]] founders [[Bayek]] and [[Amunet\|Aya]], the region bears little points of interest.		The '''Qattara Depression''' is a geological {{Wiki\|Depression (geology)\|depression}} in the northwest region of [[Egypt]].<ref>{{WP\|Qattara Depression}}</ref> Aside from [[Hotep Cavern]], the final resting place of [[Assassins\|Hidden Ones]]' co-founders [[Bayek]] and [[Amunet\|Aya]], the region bears little points of interest.

	As the lowest point in the country, the wasteland is characterized by sand dunes, sparse vegetation, and salt pans. It is flanked on the north and south sides by barren mountains. Reaching 18,000km<sup>2</sup>, the basin is 133m below sea level and covered in salt. After the {{Wiki\|Afar Depression}}, it is the second lowest point in Africa.<ref>'' [[Discovery Tour: Ancient Egypt]]'' – [[Tours: The Qattara Depression]]: "Sand and Salt"</ref> The arid climate has an average climate of 36°C, and is today used for oil exploration.<ref>''Discovery Tour: Ancient Egypt'' – Tours: The Qattara Depression: "Inhospitable Environment"</ref> A narrow gorge cutting into the northwest escarpment hosts one of the only sources of freshwater in the area, the [[Aquifer Oasis]].<ref name="ACO" />		As the lowest point in the country, the wasteland is characterized by sand dunes, sparse vegetation, and salt pans.

	Around 47 BCE, Bayek returned here in the midst of his conflict with the [[Order of the Ancients]].

	Two millennia later in 2017, [[Layla Hassan]] journeyed to the region on a mission to find ~~an important ancient artifact,~~ Bayek's sarcophagus, and bring it back to Abstergo. Instead, she set up a camp inside Hotep Cavern and used her [[Animus]] to relive the [[genetic memory\|genetic memories]] of Bayek and Aya to prove her worth to the [[Animus Project]]. Layla's refusal to check in with Abstergo led to the company deploying [[Sigma Team]] to find her and Deanna. While Deanna was assaulted in her hotel, Layla made use of the skills she had obtained through the [[Bleeding Effect]] to dispatch her attackers. ~~She was later found by~~ [[~~William Miles~~]], [[Mentor]] ~~of the~~ [[~~Assassins~~]] after he ~~had~~ caught wind of her situation and offered her a position with the Brotherhood.
