One of the picturesque wadis in the UAE. It has remains of old settlements, graveyards and breath taking scenery. In one of the tributary wadis, the Jebel al Jais Mountain Resort is constructed.
Wadi Bih is a wadi that crosses the North-Western Hajar Mountains from the United Arab Emirates, and traversing Oman before returning to the UAE. From the West to the East, the crossing originates in Ras Al Khaimah, before cutting through the Omani exclave at the tip of the Musandam Peninsula, past the village of Zighi and into Dibba Al-Baya in Oman and then re-entering the UAE at Fujairah at Dibba Al-Hisn, on the Gulf of Oman. The wadi is a popular location for birdwatchers.
