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.[1] Along with nearby Shuqba cave, Wadi Natuf has been nominated as a tentative UNESCO World Heritage Site in the State of Palestine.[2]
