How do you break into middle east family offices?

Title.

For reference, I just graduated from a top school. Not very keen about the job offer I have in hand, though the exposure is great.

Won't be taking the job offer, so I've been looking for jobs in the Middle East (closer to my home in India.)

If not family offices, as a fresh grad, how to approach ME in general for finance/consulting gigs? I've heard Dubai is very difficult now, but should something like KSA be easier?
