Occurs in various habitats of subtropical desert and semi-desert belt of Sahara. Reported foraging in mesic habitats close to rivers such as the Nile, in oases close to seashore, in open areas around water, and inland in mountains; also beach resort buildings, monasteries, gardens, other buildings, and natural pools.

). Christies Long-eared Bat uses broadband, low-intensity FM-QCEFpulses at 20-30 kHz, with second harmonic at 45-60 kHz, which is usually fairly intense. Frequencies of maximum energy are 31-4-35-6 kHz, start frequencies 42-5-48-7 kHz, end frequencies 20-8-25-7 kHz, and durations 1:3-1-7 milliseconds. It is considered a “whispering” species due to general weak intensity of pulses.

Classified as Data Deficient on The IUCN Red List. Locally abundant within its very small range. No population estimates exist, but its natural habitat is reduced and heavily fragmented; probably affected by anthropic disturbance, especially at roosts.
