After passing Gebel el Anbat, Wadi Kharit continues its course a little south of west, in broad shallow drainage channels over a great sandy plain. In this part of its course it receives many important feeders from the mountain masses which limit the plain to the north. The principal of these feeders are the =Wadis Anbat=, =Abarun=, =Um Daba=, =Abu Argub=, =Safihat=, =Um Sellim=, and =Medsus=. Near where Wadi Medsus enters, Wadi Kharit takes a more southerly course, passing north of a mass of low dark hills called Gebel Geneina, and here it receives =Wadi Abu Gurdi=, draining the west slopes of the mountain of the same name, the ill-defined Wadi Elemikan (_see_ p. 84), draining the extensive plain south of Gebel Abu Gurdi, and the =Rod el Geneina=, draining from the hills of Geneina. A little further on, curving to the north-west, it receives =Wadi Abu Hashim= and =Wadi Abu Selili=, which drain the south flanks of Gebel Kahfa. The next feeder is the =Wadi Helie=, which drains the west slopes of Gebel Kahfa and enters Kharit from the north-east; a well, =Bir Helie=, exists in this wadi about eight kilometres above its junction with Kharit. The well appears to be of the same character as Bir Abu Hamamid; it was yielding plenty of good water in the spring of 1906, but in the autumn of the same year the supply was said to be smaller and rather salty. About ten kilometres below the point of influx of Wadi Helie, Wadi Kharit receives Wadi Abu Hamamid (_see_ p. 85), coming from the north-east, and some fourteen kilometres further on another tributary, the =Rod el Kharuf=, enters from the opposite side conveying the drainage from the north-west flanks of Gebel Zergat Naam. In the remaining portion of its course to the Nile, Wadi Kharit receives numerous other tributaries, of which the principal are Wadi Khashab and Wadi Antar on the north, and the Wadi Garara on the south (_see_ pp. 86 and 87). On the whole, Wadi Kharit is poor in vegetation; trees are fairly abundant in the central portion of its course, but both near its head and near the river it is very barren. In consequence of its sandy and arid character near the Nile, it is not usual for caravans to journey along the wadi from its mouth; Arabs from Daraw usually go up the tortuous and sandy Wadi Allawi, and thence enter Kharit either by the Rod Abu Modellim or by a track among hills which leads eastward to =Bir Qoleib=. Bir Qoleib is a good well in a small tributary of Wadi Kharit, about seventy kilometres by road from the Daraw. From Bir Qoleib to the wells of Abu Hamamid and Helie the westward journey is about 110 kilometres, while from Bir Qoleib to the well of Abu Hashim, south-east (on the road to Abu Saafa), is a distance of about seventy-five kilometres.
