Kafr Saba
Kafr Saba ( ar, كفر سابا), historically Capharsaba, was a Palestinian Arab village famous for its shrine dating to the Mamluk period and for a history stretching back for two millennia. The village was depopulated of its Arab residents by Jewish forces on May 13, 1948, one day before the new State of Israel was declared. Much of the village's ruins were built over as the neighboring modern Israel town of Kfar Saba expanded in the late 20th century; the location of the built up area of the village is now the Shikun Kaplan area of modern Kfar Saba, and part of it is known as the "Kfar Saba Archaeological Garden" or "Tel Kfar Saba". Two domed maqams remain, located on either side of Route 55 between Kfar Saba and Qalqiliyya. The larger of the two is called Nabi Yamin, situated on the east side. About away, on the west side of the road, is a much smaller shrine named Nabi Serakha. The Nabi Yamin shrine sits on what has historically been considered by Jews to be the biblica ...

Saba' (Sheba)
Sheba (; he, ''Šəḇāʾ''; ar, سبأ ''Sabaʾ''; Ge'ez: ሳባ ''Saba'') is a kingdom mentioned in the Hebrew Bible (Old Testament) and the Quran. Sheba features in Jewish, Muslim, and Christian traditions, particularly the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo tradition. It was the home of the biblical "Queen of Sheba", who is left unnamed in the Bible, but receives the names ''Makeda'' in Ethiopian and ''Bilqīs'' in Arabic tradition. According to Josephus it was also the home of the biblical " Princess Tharbis" said to have been the first wife of Moses when he was still a prince of Egypt. There are competing theories of where this kingdom was, with some placing it in either South Arabia or the Horn of Africa. Encyclopedia Britannica posits that the biblical narrative about the kingdom of Sheba was based on the ancient civilization of Saba (Old South Arabian: 𐩪𐩨𐩱 ''S-b-ʾ'') in South Arabia.
