The Manga or Wamanga Arabs are Omani Arabs, specifically from the region of Muscat, who have immigrated to parts of East Africa such as Zanzibar. They are different from the Omanis who already were there since the first immigration wave, not only because of the time they have spent there, but also because of their level of education and integration, their knowledge of Islam, their socio-economic status and the length of time they intended to stay (usually, one generation).
