What is "dabat"

Dabat is one of the woredas in the Amhara Region of Ethiopia. Part of the Semien Gondar Zone, Dabat is bordered on the south by Wegera, on the west by Tach Armachih, on the northwest by Tegeda, and on the northeast by Debarq. Towns in Dabat include Dabat and Wekin.

The highest peak in Dabat is also the highest peak in Ethiopia: Mount Ras Dashan. It is a member of the Semien Mountains, which cover most of this woreda. Due to its inaccessibility and the lack of the most basic infrastructure, in 1999 the Regional government classified Dabat as one of its 47 drought prone and food insecure woredas. Both Dabat and Wekin lie on the Gondar- Debarq highway.

Dabat is a town in northern Ethiopia. Located on the Semien Mountains along the Gondar- Debarq highway it is in the Semien Gondar Zone of the Amhara Region. Dabat is one of two towns in Dabat woreda.

There is a state run health centre in Dabat.
