We are now less than three weeks away from the return of Premier League football, and Arsenal are stepping up preparations.
Some of the Gunners stars remain in Qatar, competing in the World Cup, but those who were not called up have travelled to nearby Dubai to get up to speed on their fitness in the warm weather. With day time temperatures of around 30 degrees, Mikel Arteta and his men can put their stars through a pre-season of sorts before club football resumes.
Mo Elneny was among those working hard in Dubai, having returned from injury just before the break, and here we round up some of the best pictures from the trip so far.
Take a look below...
