The wadi runs east to west, running down from the mountain village of Sal to join with the Wadi Bih at Burairat. It is a fertile agricultural area, long associated with the Habus tribe of Ras Al Khaimah. The wadi is accessed today from the Jebel Jais road.[1]
It is a popular hiking and offroading destination.[2] The steep climb out of the wadi leads up to the Habus village of Sal.[3]
