Wolqayt (also Welqayt, Wolkait, Walkait, Uolcait, etc.; Ge'ez ወልቃይት ''welḳāyt'' or ''wolḳāyt'', ) is the woreda and region in northwestern Ethiopia. Located in Mi'irabawi Zone in Tigray Region, this woreda is bordered on the northwest and north by Kafta Humera, then separated on the east by the Semien Mi'irabawi Zone, part of the eastern border is along the Tekezé River, and on the south by Tsegede. The administrative center of Wolqayt is Addi Remets; other towns in this woreda include Mai'gaba and Awura.
== Overview ==
Wolqayt is known for its fertile alluvial soil, which grows cash crops such sesame, cotton and also sorghum. It is also known for the production of essence. Because this region has long and strong historical ties with Sudan, Tigray, Eritrea and Gonder, it has become a hot spot for all people from all the parts of Ethiopia and neighbouring countries.
Until the 1996 administrative reorganization, Wolqayt was part of Semien and Begemder provinces. Wolqayt was allocated within the Tigray Region once ethnic federalism was established in Ethiopia. The wife of Prime Minister Meles Zenawi, Woizero Azeb Mesfin, was born in Wolqayt; since the 2005 election, she has represented Wolqayt.
In May 2010 construction was underway on a road segment connecting Adi Remets with a 98 kilometer road west to Dejena Densha; construction of the segment east to Dedebit awarded that month to Sur Construction for 801 million Birr.〔("Tigray, Southern Towns Get First Roads" ), ''Addis Fortune'' 2 May 2010 (accessed 5 May 2010)〕
