I thought it has already been confirmed that the next game is set in Egypt. Anyways, a desert setting sounds neat, though I think aside from an Egyptian setting, even a Middle-Eastern one would be too familiar to audiences due to Assassin's Creed I. (Thus I'd be skeptical about Arabia) The series need to shift to truly exotic settings we've never seen before in a main game. Egypt is fine, but next has to be Japan, China, India, Thailand, Nepal, or at least Persia or Sumer or Inca. They need to make a decisive push about why Assassin's Creed isn't and never was "the same game over and over again", and how the series thrives on exotic settings that other series never touch upon.

I was thinking of something like the Thar Desert that forms a natural border between some parts of India and Pakistan. The area is rich in culture that Ubisoft has yet to touch on, so in my eyes, it would be ideal.
