The Wadi Muqaddam is a dry river in Sudan .
course
The wadi stretches over 320 km approximately from the west of Omdurman to the southwestern arc of the Nile near Korti and thus delimits the Bayuda desert to the west. Some scientists have taken soil samples to suggest that the White Nile once flowed through the wadi.
The wadi is archaeologically interesting because of ceramic finds from the Mesolithic and the excavation site Al-Meragh .
