Khaibakh is a large medieval tower complex, an example of Chechen medieval fortification and dwelling architecture, on the territory of the former settlement of Khaibakh in the Urus-Martan district of the Chechen Republic. It is situated 5 km from Lake Galanchozh. It dates back to the 18th century.

It consists of combat and dwelling towers, fortifications, a mosque and a Muslim cemetery. The buildings are located in separate groups: in the middle part there is a complex of one combat and two dwelling towers, in the northern part there is a complex of one combat and three dwelling towers. The buildings are made of slate. On the walls of the towers one can see various petroglyphs.

The mosque is located in the eastern part of the village, adjacent to it is a Muslim cemetery. The structure is rectangular in plan, one-storied, made of rectangular stones, the Mihrab of the mosque is oriented to the south, unlike the Muslim tradition, when it “looks” to the east. This is the tradition of the Nashkhoi teip.
