Uzbekistan is the land-locked heart of Central Asia’s evocative Silk Road. The stunning architecture of its ancient cities links the empires of China and Persia, reflecting layers of history encompassing the giddying heights of culture as well as stories of conquest and trade.
Visit the birthplace of Avicenna and learn of the legacy of this 12th century physician, whose work and thinking influenced medical practice.

This is a superb opportunity to experience the history, contemporary life and cuisine of an extraordinary destination.
This tour has broad appeal with excellent cultural, historical and more general medical content - even for non dentists. Partners and friends are also very welcome.
