Ambabbo

The missionaries Carl Wilhelm Isenberg, and Johann Ludwig Krapf spent a night at Ambabbo (which they called "Anbabo") in 1839, describing it as a resting-place, "where the caravans usually halt" on the shore of the bay Ghubbat-el Kharab.^[1] Charles Johnston, passing through this settlement about three years later, described it as "a small native village of about eight houses".^[2]

Nearby towns and villages include Airolaf (9.6 nm), Bankouale (9.3 nm), Oue`a (8.3 nm), Tadjoura (4.6 nm) and `Arta (13.8 nm).^[3]
