Ng\u2019ambo is the lesser known \u2018Other Side\u2019 of Zanzibar Town. During the British Protectorate the area was designated as the \u2018Native Quarters\u2019, today it is set to become the new city centre of Zanzibar\u2019s capital. Local and international perceptions of the cultural and historical importance of Ng\u2019ambo have for a long time remained overshadowed by the social and cultural divisions created during colonial times. One thing is certain: despite its limited international fame and lack of recognition of its importance, Ng\u2019ambo has played and continues to play a vital role in shaping the urban environment of Zanzibar Town.<\/p>\n
