Ambouli
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ambouli is a town in Djibouti. Located in the Djibouti region, O.G.S. Crawford identifies it with Canbala. Canbala appears in Muhammad al-Idrisi's map of 1192 on the coast of the Horn of Africa, south-east of the straits of Bab-el-Mandeb, and with Cambaleh, a town where the Venetian traveller Bragadino, a thirteenth-century European visitor to Ethiopia, resided for eight years.[1]
