Kfar Sabaכפר סבא
Spend a half‑day (6–8 h) in Kfar Saba to see the water tower, park and museum; add a night only if you need a base near Tel Aviv.
Kfar Saba is a small central‑Israel city north‑east of Tel Aviv, offering a few historic sites, a large municipal park and a modest museum scene. Its attractions are clustered, so a single day covers the highlights; overnight stays are only useful as a convenient Tel Aviv‑area base.
