Wadi Natuf

Wadi Natuf (Arabic: وادي الناطوف, Wadi al-Natuf or Wadi en-Natuf; Hebrew: נחל נטוף) is a river (wadi) in the West Bank, in the north of the Ramallah and al-Bireh Governorate of Palestine and flows into Israel, eventually feeding the Ayalon River.

The Natufian culture–an archaeological culture of the Levant region–is named after the wadi. Along with nearby Shuqba cave, Wadi Natuf has been nominated as a tentative UNESCO World Heritage Site in the State of Palestine.
