The Sheik Sabi’ Shrine dates back to the Ottoman period and is located in East Burqin town on top of a hill. The shrine overlooks Marj Ibin Amer valley and stands opposite of Nazareth and Um al-Fahm cities (the occupied interior). The shrine takes its name either directly from the Sheik or it may be a nickname as he retired at the top of the hill, as a sign indicating of his courage by living alone on a hill far from the village  people.

There are many oral stories about the shrine which is surrounded by aura and religious beliefs. One of the stories refers to an incident that occurred at the funeral of Sheikh Sab  whose coffin flew from the Eastern Mosque to the place where the shrine has been constructed, this increased the village people attachment to visit the shrine, and his name was connected to vows, gifts, and asking for rain. The sheikh of the mosque used to organize a march of men and women to climb to the shrine echoing the hymns that linked the rainfall to the distinctive names of the lands in Marj Ibn Amer valley such as:

Oh God we call for a rain ….that can run and reach the railway[1]

Oh God we call for a rain overnight….that can reach the plain

Oh God we call for a rain at night….that continues till beginning of the day

The shrine is the end point of 13-kilometer Sufi footpath demarcated by the Al-Rozana Association and the Masar Ibrahim Union (Abraham's Path) The path stretches from the old town of Araba,through the Araba valley Bir Hassan, towards the town of Burqin, and continues on to the Church of the Ten lepers, and the distinctive Palace of the Jarrar family.

The shrine’s restoration and the establishment of the public park were carried out with cooperation between the Municipality of Burqin and the Al-Rozana Association for Rural Tourism from November 2019 to July 2020. It is part of the project called "Promoting democratic culture through rural cultural tourism clusters – Palestine Tales of Hospitality". To do so it partnered with the Palestinian Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities and was funded by the European Union.
