Aligide River
Top 5 in Top 5 Longest Rivers In Eritrea
The Aligide River is a watercourse in Eritrea. It has its source a short distance outside of the national capital, Asmara. The river flows down the Eastern Escarpment of Eritrea until the small town of Foro near the Red Sea coast. At this point, the Aligide merges with two other rivers, the Comaile River and the Haddas River. It continues from there until it empties into the Red Sea.
Other seasonal rivers that flow toward the eastern coastal plains includes the Lebka river, the Felket river, the Haddas river, the Komayle river, the Ali Ghede river, and the Siyah Ghede river. All these rivers are seasonal, and they remain dry for most of the year. The rivers Ali Ghede and Siyah Ghede merge in the south-eastern foothills of Adi-Rosso mountain ranges. These two rivers form a further confluence with the Haddas river near the town of Foro that flows to the Red Sea. The Haddas river originates in the escarpments north of the town of Adi Keyih and it flows northward up to the Abbahani mountains where it turns eastward.
