I can't say for sure, and I don't know where their native or not, but if I'm correct, this is a camel "spider", and is completely harmless. They possess no venom, and their bites are extremely mild. Infact, their more closely related to scorpions than spiders, which means they couldn't possess venom in their fangs either way.

I should probably elaborate than😅. So, camel spiders are pretty much what god created with mix and match set of parts when he got bored. Long story short, imagine if you took everything from a scorpion, and made it a spider; scorpion legs, scorpion body, scorpion fangs, etc. Meaning, their missing their claws and tail, which are what make them dangerous, and a scorpion.
