Assessment rationale/justification
Within the United Arab Emirates, this species is widespread from the sandy deserts of Ras al Khaimah to as far southwest as Jebel Dhanna in the Gharbia, and inland as far as the edge of the mountains. This species is listed as Least Concern in view of its wide range within the UAE, lack of significant threats, and presence in several protected areas throughout its range. This taxon is not a non-breeding visitor, and it is presumed that any immigration from populations outside the UAE is not significant, and therefore there is no adjustment to the Category according to the IUCN regional and national Guidelines (IUCN 2012).
