Hemidactylus robustus
In 3 days ~50% in a week ~80%
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 →

Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report a Heyden’s gecko sighting in Dubai on a given day, based on 34 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 2nd most-seen of the 6 reptiles we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 50%, and over a week to about 80%, if each day is a fresh chance.
July
In that month about 40% of wildlife watchers report a Heyden’s gecko in Dubai on a given day, against about 10% in February and April, the lowest months.
2nd of 2
Of the 2 cities where we can rate Heyden’s gecko sightings, Dubai ranks 2nd at about 20%. The best odds are in Abu Dhabi (United Arab Emirates, about 30%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Heyden’s gecko is recorded against all the reptiles logged in Dubai (34 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.
