Hi Ammarosio, in searching out an answer for you, the first link I ran across said that there are only 2 "toxic" spiders in Saudi...the black widow and the brown recluse. Your spider does not match either of those. While I haven't found the name of your spider, and all spiders can bite, I think it is safe to say that this one does not pose a great danger.

According to this next link, there are a variety of species, but not much has been done in regards to ID

It would seem that the spider that gets the most press there, is not really a spider....called the camel spider as it is a desert dweller
