The Wadi Arus (Arabic: وادي عروس, romanized: Wādī ‘Arūs)[2] is a valley or dry river, with intermittent flow, which flows almost exclusively during the rainy season, belonging to the river basin of Wadi Bih [3] (subbasin of Wadi Shah), north-east of the United Arab Emirates (UAE), in the Emirate of Ras al Khaimah.

It is a tributary of the Wadi Shah,[4] from its confluence with the Wadi Jib,[5] and is formed mainly by the ravines and gullies that run along the western slope of the great border cliff between Oman and UAE, from 1 km approximately south of the summit of Jabal Sal (1,575 m);[6] and by those coming from the north and northwest slopes of Jabal Yabanah (1,480 m).[7]
