Wadi el Maleh

Wadi el Maleh (وادي المالح, also Wadi al Maleh, al Malich, etc.; נחל מלחה, Nahal Milcha, Milkha Stream, also Milcha, Malcha, etc.) is a non-intermittent stream in West Bank. It is within the basin of the Lower Jordan River near Highway 90 and is very low-watered, with the exception of storm discharge periods.

It starts in Samarian Hills at the altitude of 600 m northwest  of Tubas and flows into the Jordan Valley in the area between Mehola and Shadmot Mehola. (Its lower flow marks the southern boundary of the Beit She'an Valley. ) Its length is about 17 km and drainage basin of about 90 sqkm.

It follows geological faults and makes a nearly 90 degree kink northwards in the area where Road 5799 joins the Allon Road and further arcs around Shadmot Mehola to flow into the Jordan River in the west-to-east direction at about 32.3539°N, 35.5552°W.

Places of note along the stream include Hammam el Maleh, a hammam by mineral hot springs, and Burj el Maleh, a Mamluk fortress.
