Al-Taybah (ar|الطيبة, also transliterated al-Tayyibah or al-Ta'iba), historically called Tayyibat al-Ism, is a village in southern Syria, administratively part of the Daraa Governorate, located west of Daraa. According to the Syria Central Bureau of Statistics, al-Taybah had a population of 7,969 in the 2004 census.[1] It is predominantly inhabited by members of the Zu'bi clan, which has a substantial presence in Daraa and several other villages in the governorate.[2]

History

In 1884 Gottlieb Schumacher noted that Tayyibat al-Ism consisted of scattered piles of ruins of unhewn and weathered stones, possibly caused by an earthquake. To the west of the site, along the Wadi al-Lubweh stream, were the remains of a mill.
