With Newcastle United set to face Saudi Pro League leaders Al-Ittihad in a training match on Friday, Eddie Howe's players continued their warm weather work in Jeddah on Thursday.
The latest session saw Jamaal Lascelles involved after the skipper limped off against Leeds last weekend, and that's an encouraging sign ahead of United's next league fixture at home to Everton next month.
Fabian Schär told NUFC TV afterwards that it was "hard" training in the Saudi Arabian sun but added that the camp had been a "great experience," and the players certainly looked to be enjoying themselves as Serena Taylor brought nufc.co.uk this gallery.
