The Nubian ibex (Capra nubiana) is a desert-dwelling goat species found in mountainous areas of Algeria, Palestine, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Oman, Egypt, Ethiopia, Eritrea, Yemen, Lebanon and Sudan. It is generally considered to be a subspecies of the Alpine ibex (Capra ibex), but is sometimes considered specifically distinct (Capra nubiana).
