Habitat
The arabian Wheatear is typically found in arid desert regions characterized by boulder-strewn landscapes and rocky hillsides with sparse low vegetation, including scrub and trees, such as junipers and Acacias. This species favors habitats that offer broken ground for shade and shelter, and it is known to utilize cliffs, even sea cliffs, for breeding purposes. These birds adapt well to human presence, often venturing into towns and villages and occupying areas near agricultural terraces. Broadly, they inhabit semi-desert environments to woodland areas within arid Middle Eastern geographies.
