Wadi Sidr

The 883rd longest river in the world

km

Wadi Sidr is a seasonal watercourse, or wadi, in the Hajar Mountains of Fujairah, United Arab Emirates. It runs in a south-westerly direction from the village of Wadi Sidr, where it is dammed by the Wadi Sidr Dam, constructed in 2001, to the confluence of the Wadi Asimah with the Wadi Fara. The wadi takes its name from the sidr tree, Ziziphus spina-christi, common in the Hajar Mountains and prized for the honey produced from its flowers. It is a fertile agricultural area traditionally home to members of the Mazari tribe. It is a popular hiking destination.

Flows through: United Arab Emirates.
