  Shabas ash-Shuhada (Arabic: شباس الشهداء, from Coptic: ϫⲁⲃⲁⲥⲉⲛ, ϫⲁⲡⲁⲥⲉⲛ, romanized: Jabasen, Japasen) is a city in Kafr el-Sheikh Governorate of Egypt.
  
  In Ptolemaic and Byzantine Egypt it was known as Kabasa (Ancient Greek: Καβασα) or Gabasson (Ancient Greek: Γαβάσσων) and was a center of the Kabassite nome, which after the Arab conquest was transformed into a kurah.
