A wadi is a dry river bed or valley in the desert...it's dry most of the year, but if there is winter rain, the water flows through the wadis.

Bernadette ,I am a little curious about the word Wadi! Sachin have you heard that word?

That closer one was a bit too curious...he followed me across the whole wadi and probably would have followed me home! ;-)
