Wadi al-Aqiq (lit. 'valley of the brown gem') is a holding company founded in Sudan by Osama bin Laden in 1991, during the period he was based in that country.

One of the allegations Guantanamo captive Abu Sufian Ibrahim Ahmed Hamuda Bin Qumu faced in 2006, during his second annual Administrative Review Board hearing, was that he worked as a driver for Wadi al Aqiq.
