Incoming AN1 (NYC) interested in Middle East Recruiting

I’m in incoming AN1 who’s very interested in relocating to the Middle East (UAE and or Saudi) for family reasons. I was wondering if anyone had advice on how to navigate recruiting for these markets? I’ve had a few HH’s reach out but to my understanding these large cap HH’s are focused on North American PE seats. Any advice on how to navigate Middle East recruiting, who the main headhunters are and whether it’s fine to ignore the US HH’s right now? Thank you so much in advance
