The proclaimed capital city is Laayoune, and Tifariti serves as an administrative center. The region is largely desert, forming part of the Sahara Desert, and is sparsely populated. The territory is claimed and mostly controlled by Morocco, while the Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic is recognized by some countries and administered in part by the Polisario Front.
Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic uses mains electricity supplied at 230 volts at 50 Hz. Wall outlets use Type C and Type E plugs. Travelers from regions that use different plug types should bring a compatible travel adapter. Visitors should confirm that their electronic devices support 100–240V input or use an appropriate voltage converter if necessary.

Do I need a voltage converter for the Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic?
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 outlets in the Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic. 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 the Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic?
Most modern phone and laptop chargers are rated for 100–240V, so they work on the 230V supply used in the Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic without a separate converter. You'll still need a plug adapter, since the charger's US plug won't physically fit the local outlets.
Are the Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic and US power outlets interchangeable?
No. The Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic uses Type C and Type E outlets and the US uses Type A/B. The plug shapes are different, and the local supply 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 the Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic use more than one plug type?
Yes. The Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic uses two plug types: Type E, a grounded plug with a round pin and a socket-mounted grounding pin, and Type C, an ungrounded two round-pin Europlug that also fits Type E sockets.
