Able to buy a Cartouche in Israel or Jordan?

Since the Egyptian portion of our Holy Land trip has been cancelled by our tour group, will I still be able to buy a cartouche in Israel or Jordan? I've been asked to buy one for a friend when our trip included Egypt. I'm just not familiar how available they are.

Looks like there are plenty of places on the web that will be happy to sell you one....

Don't know about Israel, but I don't remember seeing any in Jordan.

I see I can buy one online but it would be better to purchase there.

I can't imagine Jordan and Israel having them - since they are a very "Egyptian" thing. But you can look, and if you don't find anything you can order it online.

Contact Gouzlan Gold for your cartouches and if you mention Ms Debbie you should get a fair shake at the cost. They have a web site at www.gouzlan.com, but the prices there are not current by any stretch of the imagination. Contact them for current costs of silver and gold cartouches.

As mentioned before, Cartouches are an EGYPTIAN thing. Chances are slim you will be finding one in Jordan, and I would bet money Israel isn't going to sell ANYTHING remotely Egyptian. If you want cartouches, your best bet is to do it on line.

As you can see Gouzlan has a good reputation for quality among expats, so I think you ought to trust them but it's 100% up to you.
