The site was identified as important in 2008 because it was regularly supporting significant populations of the species listed below, meeting ('triggering') IBA criteria.

Populations meeting IBA criteria ('trigger species'):

Species	Current IUCN Red List Category	Season	Year(s)	Population estimate at site	IBA criteria met
Egyptian Vulture Neophron percnopterus	EN	breeding	1998	1-4 breeding pairs	B2
Eastern Imperial Eagle Aquila heliaca	VU	breeding	1998	2-4 breeding pairs	A1

The current IUCN Red List category may differ from that which was valid at the time of IBA criteria assessment (2008).
