In the United Arab Emirates, this subspecies is found in the south and west of the Abu Dhabi Emirate. The extent of occurrence (EOO) is moderately large, approaching 45,375 km², however, the area of occupancy (AOO) is restricted, at just 324 km². Its primary habitat, sandy or gravel plains, is impacted by a range of threats such as urban development, oil and gas exploitation, etc, which may result in local extirpations. As a result, the subspecies is assessed as Vulnerable (VU A2abcd+4abcd) based on observed and inferred (declines in AOO and habitat quality, and levels of exploitation) population decline in the past and ongoing that exceeds 30%. The population is suspected to have undergone a decline of at least 30% in the previous three generations (30 years) as a result of habitat loss, and a future decline of at least 10% is suspected as a result of ongoing habitat loss. The subspecies faces a wide range of threats in addition to urban development, including loss of vegetation cover, and persecution. The subspecies is unlikely to be declining fast enough for this subspecies to qualify for listing in a more threatened category and viable populations are present in several Protected Areas. 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).Conservation actions are required for this subspecies. Education is required to ensure that the existing Federal Law of the United Arab Emirates that prohibits the hunting, collection, and disturbance of the species is implemented, and habitat protected. Further research is required, including habitat and population monitoring.

Uromastyx aegyptia ssp. leptieni relatively widespread in the United Arab Emirates, however, the area of occupancy (AOO) is moderately restricted, at 564 km². The taxon is listed as Vulnerable (VU A2abcd+4abcd) due to continued urban development in its range which has resulted in a decline in suitable habitat (and AOO), and in view that the subspecies is regionally endemic. The population is suspected to have undergone a decline of at least 30% in the previous three generations (30 years) as a result of habitat loss, and a future decline of at least 10% is suspected as a result of ongoing habitat loss. The subspecies faces a wide range of threats in addition to urban development, including loss of vegetation cover, and persecution.The subspecies is unlikely to be declining fast enough and viable populations are present in several protected areas, thus the subspecies does not qualify for listing in a more threatened category.

The species is listed as Least Concern for the UAE as it has limited threats within its range, none of which caused any known population reductions, and because it is unlikely to be declining fast enough to qualify for listing in a more threatened category. 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).

Within the United Arab Emirates, this subspecies is known from a small number of records, and it appears to be distributed along the Gulf coast, on the Fujairah coast, and along a narrow band at the interface between the gravel plains bordering the mountain and active sand dunes to the west. It is listed as Data Deficient due to insufficient information available on the distribution, population and natural history of the subspecies to conclude it to be listed in a different category. 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).

The species is listed as Least Concern in view of its wide distribution across the Hajar Mountains within the United Arab Emirates, presumed large population and because it is unlikely to be declining fast enough to qualify for listing in a more threatened category. 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).

This subspecies is listed as Near Threatened for the UAE. It has a very limited distribution within the United Arab Emirates on gravel plains bordering the Hajar Mountains on the west from 100 m to 300 m asl. The area of occupancy (AOO) is just 24 km², and the extent of occurrence (EOO) is 195 km². There are no current major threats to the species, however, one known locality is subject to intensive recreational use, and another area faces significant potential impacts from gravel extraction. The species has restricted AOO and EOO, and occurs in fewer than ten locations, however at present, no continuing decline is known. It qualifies as NT under Criterion B (B1 and B2). This taxon is not a non-breeding visitor, and it is presumed that any immigration from populations from Oman is not significant, and therefore there is no adjustment to the Category according to the IUCN regional and national Guidelines (IUCN 2012). Further monitoring and research are required, and the species should be reassessed if new data become available.

The species is listed as Least Concern in the UAE in view of its wide distribution, presumed large population and because it is unlikely to be declining fast enough to qualify for listing in a more threatened category. 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).

This subspecies is listed as Least Concern for the UAE in view of its wide distribution, large population, presence in several protected areas throughout its range, its ability to thrive in modified habitats and as it is unlikely to be declining fast enough to qualify for listing in a more threatened category. 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).

This species occurs within the United Arab Emirates as a result of historical introduction. The species is known from coastal areas of Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Sharjah and inland around Al Ain. The species is considered Not Applicable for the UAE national Red List as a non-native introduction. 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).

Within the United Arab Emirates, this species is found in the carbonate mountains of the Ru'us al-Jibal in the Western Hajars north of the Masafi/ Dibba depression. The species is listed as Least Concern as there are no threats to the species within its restricted area of occupancy (AOO) of 20 km² and extent of occurrence (EOO) 263 km², and in view of its presumed stable population that is unlikely to be declining fast enough to qualify for listing in a threatened category. 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).However, the species occurs with a very restricted AOO and EOO, and at very low population densities. Ongoing monitoring is needed for this species, and it should be reassessed if new data become available.
