Barāqish or Barāgish or Aythel (Arabic: براقش) is a town in north-western Yemen, 120 miles to the east of Sanaa in al Jawf Governorate on a high hill.

In the main area of the site, there still remain the ruins of a dome, a mosque, a well and tower, as well as many pottery shards and pieces of glass.

[citation needed] The ruins of a temple in the southern part of the city are considered by archaeologist to have been dedicated to the god Athtar.

[2][9][10][11][12][excessive citations] The city is mentioned in a number of Minaean language temple stelae across southern Arabia.

Inside they found a number of stone tables or altars with bulls' heads at each end, which are believed to have been a sanctuary to a god of healing.

[14] In 2015, the city was reported as being badly destroyed when the Saudi Arabian military, supported by the US and Britain, bombed the site of Baraqish, which was occupied by Houthi forces.
