The capital of the Arabia Nome was Phacusa.

Notes on verification

Multiple independent sources (Wikipedia, arabmls.org, Grokipedia) confirm Phacusa as capital of the Arabian Nome, citing Ptolemy's Geography. However, one source notes historical scholarly debate (Brugsch vs. Naville) over whether Saft el-Hinna may have been the original capital, suggesting some nuance/period-dependence not fully resolved.
