Assessment rationale/justification
This species is considered to be common in the UAE and is known to occur in at least one protected area. However, potential threats may arise from ongoing forestation and levelling of areas where it is found, in addition to roads being built and horse-riding occurring in the area. As a result, it may require a reassessment once research has been conducted into the threats to this species. For now, it is assessed as Least Concern as the majority of the range appears to be contained within a protected area.
