In general, I need to say that Delloite in that area is not as strong and with good reputation as they are in the US or other geographies.  So it's rather a boutique firm in Dubai or Middle East in general. 

Hope it helps,

Hi A,

You are right, they are growing a lot in that area but the brand recognition is still far from MBB, closer to a tier-2 company.  THeir growth is also due to the fact that they are paid less than the big consulting companies.
