International internships in the Middle East

Hi guys, Merry Christmas! I am an undergrad in the APAC region, have done a couple of M&A stints in boutique shops and will be doing another off cycle internship at an MM IB for the next 6 months. With the capacity for another off cycle internship after that, I am curious as to whether buyside internship roles in Middle Eastern SWFs (Mubadala, QIA, etc) are possible at the undergrad level as an international applicant. Would appreciate any pointers regarding the recruitment timeline, process, and experience as whole from anyone who has any insight. Thanks!
