Since its opening in 2002, Mini Israel has become one of the most popular of the country's tourist attractions, presenting the nation at eye level in miniature.

A visit to Mini Israel (http://www.minisrael.co.il/?categoryId=42583) is not just a fun way to get an overview of Israel on dollhouse scale.

Smadar Efrat of the entertainment theme site says it also provides a comprehensive glimpse into the land's history, archeology, architecture, religion, industry, shopping, leisure and academic institutions -- as well as its people, depicted in Mini Israel's 385 painstakingly crafted dioramas in full miniature detail. The 25,000 tiny figures are animated with motion, music and sound.

Located near Ben-Gurion International Airport, Mini Israel is a popular place to start or end a trip to Israel.
