List of wadis. Qatar does not have any permanent rivers, but instead has numerous wadis. Wadis are defined as dry river valleys which experience intermittent water flow during the rainy season. Qatar is a peninsular Arab country whose terrain comprises arid desert and a long Persian (Arab) Gulf shoreline of beaches and dunes. Also on the coast is the capital, Doha, known for its futuristic skyscrapers and other ultramodern architecture inspired by ancient Islamic design, such as the limestone Museum of Islamic Art. The museum sits on the city’s Corniche waterfront promenade.
Wadi (Arabic: وَادِي, romanized: wādī), alternatively wād (Arabic: وَاد), North African Arabic Oued, is the Arabic term traditionally referring to a valley. In some instances, it may refer to a dry (ephemeral) riverbed that contains water only when heavy rain occurs.
The Ministry of Municipality and Environment has recorded a total of 306 wadis scattered throughout Qatar.
Qatar brings together old world hospitality with cosmopolitan sophistication, the chance to enjoy a rich cultural tapestry, new experiences and adventures.
