Dhat-Badan (Sabaean: 𐩹𐩩𐩽𐩨𐩲𐩵𐩬), Dhat-hami, or Zat-Badar, ´She of the Wild Goats` and ´She of the Sanctuary',[1] was a Himyarite goddess.
Dhat-Badan was a nature goddess of the oasis, nature, and the wet season worshipped at tree-circled pools[citation needed] throughout the region of ancient Yemen, Somalia, and Ethiopia.
[3] In the sanctuary, the priestess would lie down and sleep before the sacred tree(s) of the goddess to receive an oracle in the form of a prophetic dream.
The she-ibex was sacred to her and it was said that an island in the Red Sea inhabited by ibexes was under her protection.
