Baraqish

Also known as Yathill

Baraqish, ancient Yathill, is a walled ruined city in the al-Jawf region of Yemen, north-east of Sanaa. It was the second city of the Kingdom of Ma'in and a station on the incense route, enclosed by stone walls with dozens of towers. In 25–24 BCE the Roman expedition of Aelius Gallus took it on its way towards Marib.
