Tayma (; Taymanitic: 𐪉𐪃𐪑, , vocalized as: ), also spelled Tema, is a Saudi city and governorate, in Tabuk Province, and major oasis with a long history of habitation.
It is located in northwestern Saudi Arabia at the point where the trade route between Medina and Dumah (Sakaka) begins to cross in the western portion of the Nafud desert. Tayma lies about southeast of Tabuk and approximately north of Medina.
