Arsenal have flown out to Dubai ahead of their warm weather training camp and a mid-season friendly match against Al Nasr Sports Club.
Injured trio Hector Bellerin, Rob Holding and Danny Welbeck were with the 23-man squad that was pictured for the flight, despite injuries curtailing their respective seasons.
Bellerin and Holding are recovering from anterior cruciate knee ligament injuries, while Welbeck needed two ankle operations after sustaining an injury against Sporting Lisbon in November.
With the international schedule underway, it is a weakened Arsenal side heading to the far east.
But Alexandre Lacazette, Mesut Ozil and Laurent Koscielny all feature, as well as Petr Cech, Ainsley Maitland-Niles and Shkodran Mustafi.
But they travelled in style, with the team given a plan branded specifically in Arsenal colours to fly them out to Dubai.
The game is scheduled for March 26, with manager Unai Emery looking to keep his players sharp ahead of their top four run-in and battle to win the Europa League.
It forms part of the opening ceremony for the newly built Al Maktoum Stadium in Dubai.
'It will be great to get some warm weather training and break up the usual routine as we enter the final stage of the season,' Emery said when the trip was announced earlier in March.
'The facilities in Dubai are fantastic and it will be an honour to be part of the formal opening ceremony for the new stadium.'
Arsenal's next Premier League game is against Newcastle on April 1. They play Napoli in the quarter-final on the Europa League, with the first leg at the Emirates stadium scheduled for April 11.
