Tahtai Koraro (Tigrinya: ታሕታይ ቆራሮ, "Lower Koraro") is a woreda in Tigray Region, Ethiopia. Part of the Semien Mi'irabawi Zone, Tahtai Koraro is bordered on the southwest by Asigede Tsimbela, on the north by La'ilai Adyabo, and on the southeast by Medebai Zana. The town of Inda Selassie is surrounded by Tahtai Koraro.
Local landmarks in this woreda includes Mai Adrasha, an archeological site showing an uninterrupted chronological range from the Pre-Axumite through the Late Axumite periods (c. 800 BC - AD 700) - an indication of the site's importance both as a long-lived habitation in the area, and as the westernmost known example of this chronological range.[1]
