Roberto Firmino was quickly surrounded by a crowd of jubilant fans after arriving in Saudi Arabia.
Firmino signed for Saudi side Al-Ahli on a free transfer following the end of his Liverpool contract, one of several high-profile players who have swapped Europe for the Middle East in recent months.
The 31-year-old left Liverpool after winning five major trophy in his eight years at the club, and was given an emotional send-off by the Anfield faithful.
He will be joined at Al-Ahli by former Chelsea goalkeeper Edouard Mendy, who moved to the Saudi Professional League side last month.
