Wadi Sharm

Wadi Sharm (Wādī Sharm) is a valley or dry river with flow ephemeral or intermittent, flowing almost exclusively during the rainy season, located in the northeast of the United Arab Emirates, in the Emirate of Fujairah. It forms its own drainage basin, covering an area of approximately 6 km2 (2.3 mi2), bordered to the north by the Wadi al Huwaybit / Wādī Liḩw̄biţ; to the west by the Wadi Zikt and Wadi Wurayah, and to the south by Al Bidiyah. The wadi originates on the northwestern slope of Jabal Badiyah (459 m (1, 506 ft)), and runs towards the coast, from southwest to east, zigzagging between steep, low hills, composed almost entirely of harzburgite, with a very steep and rugged relief. On its course, the Wadi Sharm passes through the small town of Sharm (Sha'biyyah Sharm).

Flows through: United Arab Emirates.
