The Aqqaba ( Kazakh Аққаба - "White Kaba") is the left source river of the Kaba (also Habahe ).
The Aqqaba rises from the glaciers on the southern slope of the Southern Altai mountain range. Its entire length forms the state border between Kazakhstan in the west and the People's Republic of China in the east. The Aqqaba initially flows west and later turns more south. Finally, the Aqqaba merges with the Qaraqaba flowing in from the right to form the Kaba. The Aqqaba has a length of 99 km. Its catchment area covers 1570 km².
