Spend a half‑day in Samar for dunes, desert kites and the Hay Bar Yotvata nature reserve; skip overnight unless you bike the desert.

Visit Abu Ghosh for a half‑day (≈4 h) to see the Crusader church, sample famed hummus, then continue to Jerusalem.

Give Nahariyya one night as a beach-and-base stop for Rosh Haniqra and Akhziv; two nights if you want a full beach day.
