He sees the Dubai break as the ideal opportunity to let his side recharge their batteries following their recent Premiership clashes.
Rovers went into their mini-break on the back of two morale boosting victories against Aston Villa and Ipswich.
He took the squad to the same venue this time last season and they responded by hammering Burnley 5-0 upon their return - a result that helped propel them towards the Premiership.
And now Souness is hoping they will return from Dubai at the weekend refreshed and ready to win the games necessary to keep them in the top flight.
He said: "This is a chance for the players to rest and recuperate after a punishing schedule over the last couple of months but it's important to stress this is not a holiday."

"Whilst we are out here we'll still train every day and our sessions have been a lot more productive this time because we've got a larger group of players out here.
"About 17 or 18 of the squad are here and it's a great opportunity to get everyone away for a few days, given the fact we haven't got a game at the weekend.
"Living with each other on a day-to-day basis helps everyone to bond and it's a chance to get a bit of sun as well which gives everyone a lift.
