Course
Wadi Al-Rumah is the Kingdom's longest seasonal watercourse, about 510 km, formed during Arabia's wet periods. It rises in the Khaybar lava field in northern Madinah and runs east to the Thuwayrat sands south of Al-Asyah. [1]
It crosses seven governorates: Unaizah, Riyadh Al-Khabra, Ar-Rass, Al-Asyah and Uqlat As-Suqur in Al-Qassim, and Al-Hait and As-Sulaimi in Hail. Most of its basin lies in Al-Qassim; its main tributaries are Wadi Al-Shuabah and Wadi Al-Jarir. [1]
