Hemidactylus robustus
In 3 days ~70% in a week ~90%
Heyden's gecko (Hemidactylus robustus) is a species of geckos, family Gekkonidae, found in northeastern Africa and in the Middle East. It may be found in Egypt, Sudan, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Somalia, Kenya, Yemen, Oman, Qatar, Iraq, Iran, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Pakistan. qatar
In Egypt, it is expected to lose much of its currently suitable distribution in the future due to anthropogenic climate change. Heyden, 1827 : Atlas zu der Reise im nördlichen Afrika. I. Zoologie. Reptilien. H. L. Brönner, p. 1-24 (integrated text). Wikipedia →

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Heyden’s gecko is recorded against all the reptiles logged in Abu Dhabi (9 verified sightings), calibrated against known sighting rates. Figures are rounded to the nearest 10% because citizen-science data supports honest approximations, not decimals, and months with records from fewer than five people show "—". How it works.
