Arzaqa is a relatively flat country; The north is irrigated by lots of rivers and has an immense flood plain called the Isiya flood plain, derived from the name of the river Isiya (Wadi Isiya; وادي عيسية), itself derived from the city of [[Isiya]], in the middle of the plain and crossed by the river. The south is hilly, with the highest located in the southwest and called the Saqir Hills. The coast is also very flat, with some areas of the city of [[Nazarab]] located under sea level.

Arzaqa's climate varies depending on the location in the country; The north has a tropical savanna climate, with wet summers and dry winters (Koppen: Aw), while the south is drier and has a hot semi-arid steppe climate (Koppen: BSh). Due to the lack of hills, desertification is a challenge for the country, and sandstorms can occur in the very south of Arzaqa. The variation of climate creates a north-south divide.
