Arabian Peninsula Travel Adapters
Type A, Type B, Type C, Type D, Type E, Type F, and Type G • varies by country
The Arabian Peninsula is a large geographic region in Western Asia that includes Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Oman, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Kuwait, and Bahrain. The region contains several major economic and transportation hubs, including cities such as Riyadh, Dubai, Doha, and Kuwait City. Electrical systems vary across the peninsula because each country maintains its own national standards and infrastructure.
Travelers across the Arabian Peninsula should expect a mixed electrical environment depending on the country they visit. Most countries in the region supply mains electricity at about 220–240 volts at 50 Hz. Several outlet styles are encountered across different countries and facilities, including Type A, Type B, Type C, Type D, Type E, Type F, and Type G sockets. Because electrical standards differ between countries, travelers should bring a compatible or universal travel adapter to ensure their devices can be connected safely.

No plug type is excluded due to limited or declining use. Type F adapters are also known as Schuko style.
