The Arabian Partridge is a large and striking species endemic to the Arabian Peninsula. It is easily identified by its distinctive black head and white throat.
Where to spot
Endemic to the Arabian Peninsula, found in arid hills, rocky wadis, and mountainous regions.
How to spot

When to spot
Most active during the cooler parts of the day, particularly early morning and late afternoon, to avoid extreme heat.
