Wādī Ghalīlah, Valley system in Ras Al Khaimah, United Arab Emirates.
The wadi stretches 4.5 kilometers from its entrance at 140 meters elevation to the northwestern slope of Jabal Shintal at 1,435 meters.
The valley formed an important part of local trade routes, with the semi-nomadic Shihuh tribe establishing settlements throughout its course over generations.
The surrounding communities maintain traditional agricultural practices within the wadi system, cultivating crops across 188 farms spread throughout the region.
Access to the wadi requires sturdy vehicles, and visitors should check weather forecasts as water levels can rise rapidly during the rainy season.
The wadi basin encompasses 76.32 square kilometers, featuring a dam constructed in 2001 to manage water resources and prevent flooding.
