    Pretty sure that Yemen, Arabia Felix, has rivers. The rivers might not be Western-famous like the Orontes or the Severn but it has rivers.

    Does that “river” which (usually doesn’t) flow to Bridgetown in Barbados count? I bet Yemen’s rivers are more consistent than that ditch. I was there in rainy season, August, and it was being used for an open-air landfill.
