The Sahibi river (Hindi: साहिबी नदी), also called the Sabi River (Hindi: सीबी नदी), is an ephemeral, rain-fed river flowing through Rajasthan, Haryana and Delhi states in India. It drains into Yamuna at Delhi, where its channeled course is also called the Najafgarh drain, which also serves as Najafgarh drain bird sanctuary.
Several Ochre Coloured Pottery culture sites (also identified as late Harappan phase of Indus Valley Civilisation culture) have been found along the banks of Sahibi river and its tributaries such as Krishnavati river, Dohan river (originates near Neem Ka Thana in Alwar district) and Sota River (merges with Sahibi river at Behror in Alwar district). The drainage pattern for all these rivers is dendritic.
The Sahibi River originates from the eastern slopes of the Saiwar Protected Forest hills in Aravalli Range near Jitgarh and Manoharpur in Sikar district of Rajasthan state. After covering about 157 km distance in the Rajasthan state. After gathering volume from a hundred tributaries, the Sahibi River forms a broad stream around Alwar and Kotputli. The main tributaries of Sahibi are Sota river, Kotkasim drain and Indori river (Indori Nallah). In some of its reaches, from Mandawar and Kotkasim to Haryana border, meandering of the river causes bank erosion.
