Interview for IB in Dubai...any advice?

Managed to schedule a phone interview with a Dubai-based shop. I've read everything I can on M&I and other resources, and have well-prepared answers for why IB and why MENA, but if y'all can suggest anything else to be prepared for that would be awesome. I'm assuming some of the more specific location-related requirements would be an understanding of sovereign wealth funds, Islamic finance, etc. Thank you!

Edit: Other than the ordinary questions of course.
