City have been hard at work on the pitch, but have also had some opportunities to sample some of the cultural experiences on offer in the United Arab Emirates.
That included a trip into the desert on Saturday evening, with the players treated to traditional Arabic food as well as a dance and fire show.
Elsewhere, players had camel rides, held a falcon and were given some henna art among other activities.
The sunset also provided an opportunity for some stunning photographs up on the sand dunes, with the squad taking in our incredible surroundings in the process.
