Wadi Khabb is a valley or dry river, with intermittent flow, which flows almost exclusively during the rainy season, located in the northeast of the United Arab Emirates, in the Emirate of Ras Al Khaimah.
It is a tributary on the right bank of the Wadi Ghalilah, and is formed mainly by the ravines and gullies that run along the southwestern slope of the mountain hill (1,712 m), located on the border between the UAE and Oman; and by the southern slope of Jabal Khabb (1,145 m).
