In Iraq, they go by two names: sharqi and shamal, depending on what season it is.

The Egyptians call it khamsin (rih al khamsin is Arabic meaning 'wind of 50 days') with alternate spellings kamseen, chamsin, khamseen.

All across North Africa, towers of sand called ghiblisrage. Haboob* is Sudanese for sandstorm.

* Haboob is a multi-use word so be cautious when using it.
