Hi all, anyone traveled recently (in the past month) to Egypt or Jordan? Curious how things are in the region given the Israel-Iran conflict.

Jordan was empty when I was there in November. Petra had maybe 100 people in it total. Great time to go.

Jordan is on my short list. Hearing this makes me want to go.

I've never seen an Egyptian travel video that made me want to go there.

I went to Cairo in 2023 to check out the grand Egyptian museum when it opened.

I am a registered sales assistant which means I have my series 7. I also have the 63 and my Life & Health license.

I have a gut feeling that I’m not being paid market value but it’s tough to find comparable salaries. Do you think $15.38/hr is a fair wage in this case?
