The Reb (also transliterated as Rib; Amharic "bottom, buttocks"[citation needed]) is a river of north-central Ethiopia which empties into Lake Tana in a small delta.

Merchants based in Yifag would transport bars of salt or amoleh in small boats or tankwas down the Reb to Zege on the lake to trade for coffee.

The river consisting of five arches, it was located 24 kilometers (15 mi) from the estuary and enabled travel between Gondar and Debre Tabor.

I have in my possession the original photograph of the bridge that is now posted at the Consulate General of Italy in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.
