Tabas-e Masina (Persian: طبس مسينا) is a city in Gazik District of Darmian County, South Khorasan province, Iran, serving as the administrative center for Tabas-e Masina Rural District.

History

In the Middle Ages, the town was known as Tabas al-Unnab ('Tabas of the Jujube') to distinguish it from the nearby Tabas al-Tamr ('Tabas of the Dates'); together the two towns gave their name to the district of Tabasayn. In the 10th century, Ibn Hawqal described it as a middling town of clay bricks, but with ruined fortifications and no castle; while Qazvini in the 13th century mentions a castle in the nearby village of Iravah. Medieval geographers noted the relatively abundant water supply of the town, in marked contrast to the surrounding countryside. In the 19th century, the town was inhabited almost entirely by Afghan Sunnis, whence it was also known as Sunni-Khanah.
