Wadi Howar is a wadi in Sudan and Chad. It travels approximately 400 kilometres in a northeasterly direction from the Ouaddai highlands in Chad across the North Darfur state of Sudan, before losing itself in the Libyan Desert. Towards its western end it forms a part of the international boundary between Sudan and Chad, separating the West Darfur State of Sudan and the Borkou- Ennedi Region of Chad. Wadi Howar is located on the southern fringes of the Libyan Desert and is one of its most remarkable natural features. It is the largest dry river system in this presently hyper-arid part of the Sahara, stretching about 1,100km from its source area in the hilly Sudanese-Chadian border region to the Nile.
