Wadi Barut (Arabic: وادي باروت, romanized: Wādī Barut), is a valley or dry river, with ephemeral or intermittent flow, flowing almost exclusively during the rainy season, located in the northeast of the United Arab Emirates, in the Emirate of Ras Al Khaimah.
The Wadi Barut and the Wadi Litibah join to form the Wadi Ghalilah at their confluence. The Wadi Barut is formed mainly by the ravines and gullies that run along the northern slope of the Jabal ar Rahrah (1,691 m (5,548 ft)); along the western slope of Jabal Bil Ays / Jebel Jais (1,911 m (6,270 ft)); and along the eastern slope of a branch of the Jabal Ar Rahrah Ridge.
