Addi Arkay

Addi Arkay (Amharic: አዲ አርቃይ ) is one of the woredas in the Amhara Region of Ethiopia. Located at the northeastern point of the Semien Gondar Zone, Addi Arkay is bordered on the south by Jan Amora, on the southwest by Debarq, on the north by the Tigray Region, and on the east by Telemt. Towns in Adarkay woreda include Addi Arkay and Zarima. Tselemt woreda was separated from Addi Arkay.

This woreda is situated on the northern slopes of the Semien Mountains. Rivers include the Zarima, a tributary of the Tekezé. Due to its inaccessibility and the lack of the most basic infrastructure, in 1999 the Regional government classified Addi Arkai as one of its 47 drought prone and food insecure woredas.
