Manchester City players hope to recharge their batteries after defeat to Arsenal.
City headed to Abu Dhabi after the game for a five-day warm-weather training camp.
Jesus Navas hopes the trip will help the squad forget the defeat and concentrate their minds ahead of Saturday's FA Cup match against Middlesbrough and the huge top-of-the-table clash against Chelsea that follows the week after.
"It's always good (to get away)," the Spaniard told City TV.
"The three points were important for us on Sunday but we have to focus on the FA Cup game now and Chelsea after that.
"We know how crucial that game will be. We will have to give our best and be 100 per cent focused."
