Hi Kareem, nice photo! This appears to be a Sawfly larva. Sawflies are wasps from "Symphyta" (listed as a suborder on wikipedia). Their larvae can be quite beautiful and colorful or more drab. I am unfamiliar with sawfly in your area. Often, species can be identified by the host plant, but not always. I hope this helps!
