Palestine Travel Adapters
Type C & Type H • 230 volts • 50 Hz
Excavations at Tell es-Sultan in Jericho, in the West Bank, uncovered a stone tower and surrounding wall dating to around 8000 BCE, among the oldest known fortifications built anywhere in the world and a site UNESCO added to its World Heritage list in 2023.
Palestine is a region in the Middle East located in Western Asia, comprising the West Bank and Gaza Strip, bordered by Israel, Jordan, and Egypt. Major destinations include Bethlehem, Hebron, and Gaza City. Palestine is known for its historical and religious significance and ancient cultural sites.
Palestine uses mains electricity supplied at 230 volts at 50 Hz. Wall outlets use Type C and Type H. Travelers from regions that use different plug types need a travel adapter for Type C or Type H; equipment that is not dual voltage requires an appropriate voltage converter.

Do I need a voltage converter for Palestine?
Only if your device isn't dual voltage. Most phones, laptops, and cameras are rated for 100–240V and only need a plug adapter for Palestine's outlets. High-wattage single-voltage appliances, like hair dryers, straighteners, or some CPAP machines, need a voltage converter, not just an adapter. Check the device label for its voltage rating before you travel.
Can I use my US phone charger in Palestine?
Most modern phone and laptop chargers are rated for 100–240V, so they work on Palestine's 230V supply without a separate converter. You'll still need a plug adapter, since the charger's US plug won't physically fit Palestine's outlets.
Are Palestine and US power outlets interchangeable?
No. Palestine uses Type C and Type H outlets and the US uses Type A/B. The plug shapes are different, and Palestine runs at 230V compared to 120V in the US, so a plug adapter alone is only safe for devices that already support both voltages.
Does Palestine use more than one plug type?
Yes. Palestine uses two plug types: Type C, a two round-pin Europlug, and Type H, a grounded plug unique to Israel and the Palestinian territories with three pins arranged in a narrow triangle. Type C plugs also fit directly into Type H sockets, so either adapter will work throughout the territory.
