Taybeh (Arabic: الطيبة) is a village in southern Jordan, administratively part of the Petra District of the Ma'an Governorate. It is located 10 kilometers (6.2 mi) southeast of Petra and is situated on a high hill overlooking the surrounding mountain range.[2] In the 2015 census, it had a population 5,747,[3] and is the second largest locality in the Petra District, after Wadi Musa.[2]

Taybeh is best known for its Taybet Zaman Hotel and Resort, a tourist village accommodating visitors to Petra.[2] The resort was established out of Taybeh's 19th-century-old village,[4] which was largely abandonded as its residents moved into more modern homes in the 1960s. Its traditional stone-built dwellings were converted into Bedouin-style lodging and includes a bazaar, Turkish bath, museum, restaurant, and bakery.[2] The tourist village is still owned and managed by the former residents.[5]
