Wadi Al Rummah is one of the Arabian Peninsula’s longest river valleys, stretching 600km from Al Abyad Mountain near Medina and to Ad Dahna desert in the Al Qassim region near Burayda in the western region of Saudi Arabia. It is known for its natural beauty, featuring rugged terrain, cliffs, and occasional water flow during rainy seasons..

It is also one of the most unique, as it intersects with the dry desert without constant nourishment and usually dried up due to scarce rain.
