Marabda ({{lang-ka|მარაბდა}}) is a community in Georgia, located some 23 km south of the capital Tbilisi, and a few kilometers north of Marneuli. It consists of three villages Akhali Marabda, Kotishi and Dzveli Marabda. According to the 2014 Georgian Census population of the community is 488.

Transport

Marabda is served by a Georgian Railway station on the Tbilisi–Gyumri line, 23 km south of Tbilisi Junction. In the 1980s, Marabda itself became a railway junction, as a branch line to Akhalkalaki (160 km to the west) was completed in 1986.

The treaty to build the Kars-Tbilisi-Baku railway — which will include the (rehabilitated) Akhalkalaki-Marabda line — was signed at Marabda.[http://www.mrdi.gov.ge/en/news/press/52a3533ce4b073169dbbb5f0 mrdi.gov.ge] Rehabilitation of Marabda-Kartsakhi railway line. Retrieved on 2015-09-05.
