The Arabian Cobra was long considered a subspecies of the Egyptian Cobra (Naja haje), but morphological and genetic differences have led to its recognition as a separate species.

It’s a diurnal animal that appears to be associated with humid environments throughout its distribution range.

Its diet consists of amphibians, small birds, mammals, and reptiles.

Its distribution areas, population, behavior patterns, and the threats to which this species is vulnerable are still under study.
