Wadi Shueib (Arabic: وادي شُعَيب), Arabic for the Valley of Jethro and properly Wadi Shuʿeib but with many variant romanisations, is a wadi in Jordan.[1]

The alluvial fan of the wadi where it enters the southern part of the eastern Jordan Valley is known as Wadi Nimrin, which leads into the Jordan River. The site of Tell Nimrin is located at the southern end of Wadi Nimrin.[2][3]
