Wadi El-Alaqi Reserve in Aswan, Egypt, is a desert and wildlife reserve. Wadi El-Alaqi is one of the largest dry valleys in the Eastern Desert. It originally springs from the Red Sea hills and flows toward the Nile. After the construction of the High Dam and the filling of Lake Nasser, the waters entered Wadi El-Alaqi and became part of the lake. However, the lake’s water level has receded from a large part of this valley due to its decline.

The valley features fertile soil and grazing areas for animals. Wadi El-Alaqi is considered a good example of arid land, but it also represents a rich environment for various types of plant life, with around 92 plant species recorded.
