Anyone know what the hell this spider is? It was huge, like 6" long.

camel spider aka sun spider :>
I love those guys. I used to have one as a pet.
Not a spider BTW

It is a solifugid, which one I'm not sure.

Kinda looks like a whip scorpion. Maybe related?? Someone on here will know I'm sure.

Thanks. I just realized it has 10 legs, I didnt really study it too close as I dont really like spiders, and then my dog ate it after I took the picture.

The front pair of "legs" are actually the pedipalps, it only has eight true legs. They can bite pretty hard but are not venomous.

My brother was working in Qatar a couple of years ago, and said he would send me one, but it never happened...
