Best Headhunters for PE / SWF opps in the UAE (Abu Dhabi & Dubai)

Hey guys - looking to see if anyone has worked with some solid headhunters for private equity / SWF placements into the UAE (Abu Dhabi & Dubai). So far, I've identified PER, Pinpoint Partners and Arkesden as potential firms to work with. I am based in the US, and understand that London-based recruiters are typically more active in the region. Does anyone have any suggestions for firms I can consider reaching out to? Thank you all.
