Wadi Atmar
The 883rd longest river in the world
Wadi Atmar (Wādī Atmār) is a short stream, valley, or dry river with ephemeral or intermittent flow, which flows almost exclusively during the rainy season, located in the emirate of Ras Al Khaimah, in the northeast of the United Arab Emirates. It is part of the Wadi Bih drainage basin (483 km2 (186 mi2)), and is a left tributary within a small hydrographic subbasin of only 1.3 km2 (0.50 mi2). The main channel of Wadi Atmar originates on the northern slope of Atmar Pass (Atmar Col, 626 m (2, 054 ft)), at the northwestern end of the Durdur Ridge, in the mountain pass connecting the sub-basins of Wadi Atmar and the adjacent Wadi Ar Ra'ilah. On maps published in 1971 by the Ministry of Defence of the United Kingdom, the latter was indicated as Wadi Hiyaila.
Flows through: United Arab Emirates.
