Wadi Shis
The 883rd longest river in the world
Wadi Shis or Wadi Shees (Wādī Ash Shīṣ), is a wadi, a seasonal watercourse, in the Hajar Mountains of Sharjah, United Arab Emirates. The wadi passes through the mountain village of Shis and crosses the border with the enclave of Madha (Oman) one kilometer downstream. It subsequently flows into Wadi Madha. Like many of the wadis of the Hajar Mountains, Shis can be dangerous during and following periods of rain and in 2020 four UAE nationals lost their cars to flash-floods in the wadi. The village is the site of an integrated recreation facility, constructed to highlight the natural beauty of the area. It was opened in October 2020. Between the area's natural microclimate and the investment from the Government of Sharjah, Wadi Shis is establishing itself as a great day trip for tourists.
Flows through: United Arab Emirates.
