Common questions

Do I need a plug adapter from France to Saudi Arabia?

Yes. Saudi Arabia uses Type G/A/B sockets, which France plugs do not fit, so pack a suitable adapter.

Will my devices work on Saudi Arabia’s voltage?

Saudi Arabia runs at 230V, 60Hz. Dual-voltage chargers (most phones and laptops) are fine; single-voltage devices may need a converter.
