The Red Sea Cliff Swallow is an enigmatic and little-known species, primarily identified by its dark crown and light rump, similar to other cliff swallows but with a very restricted range.
Where to spot
Known from very limited records in northeastern Africa, specifically near the Red Sea coast. Its preferred habitats and precise range are still largely unconfirmed due to its extreme rarity.
How to spot
Due to its extreme rarity and limited knowledge, observation relies on luck and being in the presumed very restricted habitat. Look for swift-flying swallows with a distinctive rump pattern in the specified region.
When to spot
Observations are extremely rare and opportunistic. Likely observed during daylight, similar to other swallows, but specific seasonal patterns are unknown due to lack of data.

This species is considered one of the least known swallows in the world, having only been described from a few specimens collected decades ago. Its current status and exact distribution are largely a mystery.
