Don't let your phone die. Saudi Arabia uses a specific plug type.
The Plug: Type G (British Style)
- pins: 3 Rectangular pins (same as UK, UAE, Singapore).
- Voltage: 220V / 60Hz.
Compatibility Check
- US/Canada Travelers: Your devices (Phone chargers, Laptop bricks) are usually dual voltage (110-240V) so you just need a Plug Adapter. However, for hair dryers/shavers, check carefully! If it says 110V only, DO NOT plug it in; it will burn.
- Europe/Asia Travelers: You need a Plug Adapter (European 2-pin to British 3-pin).
Where to Buy?
- Hotels: Many 5-star hotels have "Universal Sockets" that accept any plug.
- Bin Dawood: Sells cheap adapters (5-10 SAR).
- Street Stalls: Sells very cheap adapters (2-5 SAR).
