Arsenal have left England ahead of a warm-weather training camp in Dubai.
Gunners boss Unai Emery has used the international break as the perfect opportunity to keep his players in shape heading into the final stretch of the season.
He has selected a 23-man squad for the trip, with a friendly against Al Nasr scheduled for next Tuesday before Arsenal head back to England ahead of their return to Premier League action on April 1.
