The Aït Abbas or Béni Abbès (in Kabyle: ⴰⵜ ⵄⴰⴱⴰⵙ [1](At εebbas)) form a Kabyle confederation (Arch) established on the right bank of the Oued Sahel-Soummam in the Kabylie des Bibans in northern Algeria.

Its leaders, of warrior nobility, were very influential throughout the region south of Béjaïa.

[4] From the beginning of the century to the Algerian War, the Aït Abbas saw their reign gradually decline in economic and craft terms in Kabylie and the Sétif highlands.

It is very rich in cereals, olive oil, various fruits, honey and wax.

It is the tribe that is the seat of power of the Kingdom of Aït Abbas, which remained master of the Iron Gates and forced the Turks to pay a passage fee.
