Assessment rationale/justification
The origin of this species in the UAE is uncertain and it seems likely that it has been introduced but has become naturalised, as suggested by the anthropogenic habitats that it is predominantly found in. However, due to this uncertainty, it is included in the UAE National Red List and is assessed as Least Concern because of the probable absence of widespread threats.
