Hedge Funds Middle east, GCC

Hey everyone,

I've been trying to read about this, but I could not find a lot of information.

Which hedge funds have a strong presence in the GCC area. By strong presence, I mean that they recruit heavily there. And, is it easier to get an analyst position there compared to north America and Europe?
