The Wadi Halhal (Arabic: وادي هالحال, romanizedWādī Hālḥāl)[1] is a valley or dry river, with intermittent flow, which flows almost exclusively during the rainy season, located in the northeast of the United Arab Emirates, in the Emirate of Ras Al Khaimah.

It is a tributary of the Wadi Ghalilah, on the left bank, and its alluvial fan is formed by the ravines and gullies that run along the northwestern slope of the Jabal Shintal (1,435 m) and by the northern slope of Jabal Rahabah (1,543 m)
