Ng'ambo

Apartment blocks in Michenzani

Ng'ambo (literally, "The Other Side"; sometimes also referred to as the "New City")[1] is one of the two main parts comprising Zanzibar City, the capital of Zanzibar, the other being the historical Stone Town. Ng'ambo is much larger and more modern than Stone Town, with office buildings and large apartment blocks, as well as slum areas.[1][2] Ng'ambo and Stone Town are divided by Creek Road.
