Abstract : Wadi Ad Disah is one of the most important tourist destinations in Saudi Arabia in terms of composition and beauty of formation, which is a tourist attraction factor for the enjoyment of various natural landscape. It has further attracting features such as moderate weather and the geographical proximity of other tourist destinations in neighboring countries. The historical monuments, natural springs streaming throughout the year and aromatic flowers have played a tremendous role in the area by adding a tourist attraction value for the 14 sites identified along the main valley This study aims at highlighting the geomorphological features of Wadi Ad Disah with respect to formative and aesthetic aspects for tourist investment purposes to invest it; hence, diversifying the sources of Saudi Arabia income. In fact, Wadi Ad Disahis considered an important economic source that could help Saudi Arabia achieve its 2030 Economic Vision. Furthermore, Wadi Ad Disahis characterized by its strategic location in the northwest of Saudi Arabia and the southwest of the City of Tabuk.In general, the geology of Wadi Ad Disah is composed of sandstones in most parts. Below is the process of non-compatibility between the igneous and sedimentary rocks.. The researcher employed the analytical descriptive method together with quantitative statistical and analytical methods. Analysis of the morphometric features of Wadi Ad Disah Basin pointed out that the basin is being in the early stage of maturity. Its topographical texture is coarse. The shape of the basin is semi-rectangular, meandrous and asymmetrical due to abundant cracks and joints, in addition to its high level of water permeability. Drainage patterns play an important role in the geomorphological features since they reflect the fragility of the geological structure such as bends and breaks in the wadi, different climatic conditions and topographical features. The basin has two patterns of drainage as follows: the rectangular (perpendicular) pattern and the parallel one. This confirms what has been measured and analyzed through the morphometric features of Wadi Ad-Disah.
