Nasser (Arabic: ناصر), older name is Bush (Arabic: بوش, Coptic: ⲡⲟⲩϣⲓⲛ, lit.'the stable' Coptic pronunciation: [pˈuʃən])[1] is a city and corresponding markaz in Beni Suef Governorate, Egypt. It is named after former Egyptian President Gamal Abdel Nasser.

The city was called Pois (Ancient Greek: Πωις) in Ptolemaic and Byzantine Egypt.
