Off topic but I'm bored.

'Rub' means 'God' or 'Figure' in Arabic.
'Al' means 'the' or 'of'.
'Khali' means 'empty' or 'my uncle on my mother's side'

Rub Al Khali means God of Emptiness!

Thank you for this :D

Now that I think about it. That would make perfect sense for that scene. Just Drake and nothingness or emptiness.

Kudos to Naughty dog for giving that location a suiting name in a different language.

But the location is the Rub' al Khali IRL so I guess they just named the chapter after its geographic name. And it translates to "the empty quarter".

OH! So it's Rube'e/Rub3 Al Khali! That makes more sense to me now. there's no 'ayn' in English so it's ommited.
