Wadi al-Aqiq (lit. 'valley of the brown gem')[1] is a holding company founded in Sudan by Osama bin Laden in 1991, during the period he was based in that country.[2][3][4][5][6]

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.[7]
