In addition to the availability of water and invertebrate prey, roost sites are considered the main factors enabling bats to survive in desert areas. Because suitable roost sites are often limiting resources, human constructions are also important for these animals. Conversely, in the context of built heritage conservation, bats are often discussed as a cause of damages. However, if historic structures deteriorate, they may lose their suitability as roosting sites for bats. This study examines how the condition of domed tombs in Sudan affects their use by bats. Inspections of 19 tombs revealed that bats occupied only undamaged structures, with 1652 individuals of four species found. Slightly and partially damaged tombs were not used by bats. These findings highlight the importance of preserving man‐made structures as critical roosting sites in arid environments to support local bat populations.
