What is "megale"

Megale is one of the woredas in the Afar Region of Ethiopia. Part of the Administrative Zone 2, Megale is located at the base of the eastern escarpment of the Ethiopian highlands, and bordered on the south by the Administrative Zone 4, on the west by the Tigray Region, on the north by Abala, and on the east by Erebti. The administrative center is at Nehile.

The Leile hot springs is a notable point of interest, which is visited not only by local residents and people from the Tigray Region, but by inhabitants from the Amhara Region, who arrive by foot. Rivers in this woreda include the Erebti, a stream that flows east from the Ethiopian highlands into the Afar Depression.
