The Wadi Jib (Arabic: وادي جب, romanized: Wādī jb)^[3][4][5] is a valley or dry river with intermittent flow, which flows almost exclusively during the rainy season, belonging to the drainage basin of Wadi Bih (subbasin of Wadi Shah),^[6][7][8][9] north-east of the United Arab Emirates (UAE), in the Emirate of Ras Al Khaimah.

It is a tributary of the Wadi Shah / Wadi Shehah / Wādī Shaḩḩah,^[2][10] from its confluence with the Wadi Arus,^[11] and is formed mainly by the ravines and gullies that run along the southern slopes of the Jabal Ar Rahrah (1,691 m (5,548 ft)), divided into two large branches; by the deep cliffs located to the west and at the foot of Jabal Sal) (1,575 m (5,167 ft)),^[12] on the border line between UAE and Oman; and by multiple ravines that run along the southeast slope of Jabal Rahabah (1,543 m (5,062 ft)).
