Israel plug adaptor: where to buy one in Canada

I would like to ask my fellow Canadians where I can buy an Israel plug adaptor. (I will use it for my camera charger).

I looked online and the ones on amazon only ship to U.S.A. Can anyone recommend a store or a (trustworthy) site that ships to Canada?

Thank you,
roundbunny

p.s. I will also be going to Egypt, but from what I see, Egypt uses the same outlets as European countries, and I have an European plug adaptor already.... please correct me if I am wrong.

Israel and Egypt use the same type of plugs - type "C"

Circuit City (the old Radio Shack) has a good selection of plugs and if you're in Toronto Europe Bound on King Street West (across from Mountain Equipment Co-op) also has an excellent selection.

Hi Elizabeth,

Thank you for your advice.

TouringIsrael:
From what I see, Israel and Egypt use different plugs (Egypt uses C + F , while Israel uses H) :

roundbunny:
H is irrelevant for you, you only need 2 pins for a camera, therefore C will suffice. Get yourself a C adaptor and you are covered for both Israel and Egypt.

TouringIsrael is correct! And, if you examine H carefully, you will notice that a C can also plug into an H socket as smoothly as a knife into buffer.
