Irob (woreda)
Irob () is a district or ''woreda'' in the Tigray Region of Ethiopia. This woreda is named after the Irob people, who are the predominant ethnic group living there.

Elevations range from about 150 meters above sea level where the eastward-flowing Endelli leaves Irob to Mounts Asimba (3,250 meters) and Ayga. Landmarks in Irob woreda include the ...
