I've seen a few posts on PE in the middle east and Abraaj in particular. I secured an internship at the Abraaj Group for this summer in Dubai so I created this forum to help put some things in perspective. I'm currently a junior studying in the US. Ask me anything!

Are the girls in Dubai hot?
No sex dungeons in Dubai. Won't be seeing me there anytime soon.
Wouldn’t that make Wendy happy?
How much are they paying u?
Didn't know they let Chimps create their own Private Equity Forum.

Poor attempt at trolling bruh....
God help! Please. How did you secure it? Any chance of slipping in? Can you put a little bit of details? Thank you. It will be a great help!
Interested in this as well. How did you apply? Are internships posted on their website?
yes! but it looks like we have to send a cover letter in the email and attach your resume. that's plain and simple. one must be tip-top with the words that way.
Don't wear shorts.
Could you walk through the process? Super cool firm doing great work
Assuming the internship went well, you could land a spot in their two year analyst program. Comp and deal flow are supposed to be great, and you'll have exposure across industries and different emerging markets - ideal for anyone even remotely considering setting up their own PE shop in the long run. I currently live in the Emirates, and it's really much more relaxed than what people seem to think. Seems like a fantastic opportunity to me!
Do they recruit at the associate level for someone who’s done 2-3 years in MBB? Does anyone know?
Thanks!
What's your thoughts on the recent news? critical senior management leaving and cutting junior positions..
A bit late to this but yeah Abraaj is fucked and they fucked my post graduation plans too.
without giving away too many details, what happened?
I got fired last thursday
