The wadi contains a number of Umm Al Nar era gravesites[3] and has been a rich source of archaeological finds.[4] Like many of the Hajar Mountain wadis, it is prone to heavy flooding.[5] A number of the communities throughout the wadi are increasingly deserted by young people moving to the UAE's cities, and seasonal occupation of houses is common, for instance during the Eid celebrations, when family members return to the villages.[6] The villages along the Wadi Qor were traditionally settled by members of the Dahaminah, Washahat and Bani Kaab tribes,[7][6] as well as some Maharzah.[8]
