Gecko habitats are located in low mountains dissected by dry riverbeds (wadi) and almost devoid of vegetation at an altitude of 77–90 m a.s.l. Sparse vegetation consists of rare ephemeral grasses (genus Poa ) and xerophytic shrubs ( Astragalus , Convolvulus, Gailonia , Hammada , Salsola ), growing in the intermountain sites and along wadi.”
