Ambigol (Arabic: أمبيجول), also known Ambikol, Ambikul, and Umbacall, was a 19th-century settlement on the Nile River in Sudan. Prior to the construction of the Aswan High Dam and Lake Nubia, it was the site of a minor cataract between the Second and Third major ones.[1] It was part of the Hawawir lands.[2]
