Taybeh, Petra

Taybeh is a village in southern Jordan, administratively part of the Petra District of the Ma'an Governorate. It is located southeast of Petra and is situated on a high hill overlooking the surrounding mountain range. In the 2015 census, it had a population 5,747, and is the second largest locality in the Petra District, after Wadi Musa.
Taybeh is best known for its Taybet Zaman Hotel and Resort, a tourist village accommodating visitors to Petra. The resort was established out of Taybeh's 19th-century old village, which was largely abandoned 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. The tourist village is still owned and managed by the former residents.
