Tomb of Benjamin, Religious archaeological site in Kfar Saba, Israel.

The Tomb of Benjamin features a domed-roof structure with arched entrances, reflecting architectural elements from the 14th-century Mameluke period.

Written records from 1537 mention this burial site in the area called Saraka, while an Arab traveler in 1714 referred to it as Sidi Benjamin.

The location holds significance for multiple faiths, as both Jewish and Islamic traditions recognize it as the burial place of Benjamin, son of Jacob.

The structure currently functions as a study center where Breslav Hasidim gather to read religious texts and maintain the building's preservation.

The site includes two distinct religious shrines: the main tomb structure and the nearby Nabi Sawarka shrine across the bypass road.
