Jerusalem

In ancient times...

In ancient times Jerusalem was considered the center of the world. Nowadays, this unique city is rightly the centerpiece of any visit to Israel, whether as a destination in its own right or as a star attraction of a cultural or religious tour. The birthplace of Judaism and Christianity and one of Islam's four holy cities, Jerusalem has deep significance for nearly every visitor. Where to start? Whether it's the Old City with its dense cluster of religious and historical sites, the wondrously legible Dead Sea Scrolls, or the Mount of Olives, the list of memorable attractions is practically limitless.

But Jerusalem is much greater than the sum of its parts. For many, one visit is simply not enough to fully grasp the experience. Jerusalem residents also claim that their city never fully reveals itself and that its mystery constantly fascinates.

Jerusalem is also a beautiful modern city. The distinctive honey colored Jerusalem stone with which all buildings are faced, glows with extraordinary vibrancy at sunset, making it easy to see why the city is called Jerusalem of Gold. Set high on a series of craggy hilltops, the approach to Jerusalem is always a thrilling experience regardless of how often the journey is repeated. Its climate also sets it apart. Invariably crisp and cool even in Israel's long summers - the city offers an extra measure of welcome to those escaping the humidity and heat of the coastal areas.

Travel back in time along ancient city streets and structures. Visit the many museums, in particular the superb Israel Museum, treasure house of biblical, ethnographic and art collections. You can bargain for spices and carpets in the bazaar, shop for arts and crafts and view the cultural diversity that is so typical of Jerusalem. Concerts, dining, people watching - the variety is endless. All you need is time.

Mini Israel - See it all - in miniature !

A must for every tourist coming to Israel Mini Israel is the "Showcase of Israel." Exhibited are hundreds of amazingly accurate models, at a scale of 1:25, of the most important architectural, historic, archeological, religious and social sites as well as buildings of importance to all religions and cultures inhabiting the country. The 25,000 miniature 'Israelis' in the models are all 7cm in height!!

Since its opening in 2002, Mini Israel has become one of the most popular tourist attractions, primarily due to its ideal location (halfway between Jerusalem and Tel Aviv, just 15 minutes from the airport), and also because tourists of all ages, denominations and communities find their most beloved and cherished sites and buildings presented "at eye level ." Exhibits are periodically updated and renewed, and therefore each visit ensures a new discovery of sites, scenes and attractions which were not previously there.

Mini Israel is located in the Latrun region, near the Armored Corps Memorial and the Trappist Monastery.
The exhibit extends over an area of about 35,000 square meters (7.5 Acres) and offers its guests : A Visitors Center with a food court, a souvenir shop, a miniature tree (bonsai) nursery and a meeting hall where a movie telling the story of the establishment of the site is screened.
