The Nubian Nightjar was studied in salt marsh and open country in southern Israel. Its foraging times changed with moonlight, and moths were its main prey.
In observations in Israel, a displaying bird spread its wings and tail, showing white patches on the wings and white outer tail corners.
At Kikar Sdom near the southern Dead Sea, foraging times differed between moonless nights and the period around the full moon; moths were the main prey.
In observations at Kikar Sdom during 2004–2006, birds roosted within salt-marsh vegetation year-round and foraged in open areas along marsh edges or over fields.
During courtship at Kikar Sdom, a male flew about one metre behind a female; both held their wings in a shallow V and called while making a slow, buoyant flight.
At Kikar Sdom in late April and early May 2007, both parents fed newly fledged juveniles on the ground. The three families observed contained two, two and three young.
