Wadi Qanat, commonly known today as Wadi al-Aqul or Wadi Sayednah Hamzah,[1] is one of three main wadis (seasonal streams) of Medina, Saudi Arabia.[2] It flows between Mount Uhud and the city center of Medina.[2] It connects with the two other major wadis of the city, Wadi Buthan and Wadi al-Aqiq, at a point northwest of Medina. The wadi is dry for most of the year, though it was not uncommon for it to significantly flood when it did fill.[3]
