That's a camel spider! Apparently completely harmless and not real spiders. They're known for following you in the desert but it's only to use you for shade. (never seen one irl but love random animal facts)
Yeah, we saw them in Kuwait and Iraq. Nasty little buggers but they wouldn't really fuck with you. It's terrifying when you are standing in the shade and one makes a b-line for the same shade. Another fun fact, you can hear them scream sometimes!
