Tayyibah

Tayyibah is a large village in the Hajar Mountains of Fujairah, United Arab Emirates.

Fighting broke out between the Sharqiyin residents of Tayyibah and members of the Mazari tribe from the nearby community of Asimah in May 1959, a conflict that resulted in the Ruler of Fujairah at the time, Mohammed bin Hamad Al Sharqi, having to pay compensation, or muatasham, of 400 Rupees to the Ruler of Ras Al Khaimah, Saqr bin Mohammed Al Qasimi, as he was in breach of the wayi (protection or safeguard) agreed between them – as well as reparations of 14,000 Rupees for the damage caused by his tribesmen.

[5] The conflict, which resulted in the death of a man from Asimah and which was only quelled on the armed intervention of the Trucial Oman Scouts, rumbled on and in 1961 led to attacks on workers on the Trucial Oman Scouts' Masafi/Dibba road construction project by Tayyibah men.

[6] In its heyday as an agricultural settlement, in the early 20th century, the farms of Tayyibah would provide seasonal work for men from the surrounding area.

[7] Today Tayyibah is a popular tourist destination and hiking spot,[8] with a number of trails marked throughout the area.
