Travel adapter from Central African Republic to Saudi Arabia
Adapter Required
Yes — coming from Central African Republic, you will need a travel adapter for Saudi Arabia. Central African Republic uses Type C/Type E plugs, and Saudi Arabia uses Type G, so the pin shapes will not fit any wall socket. The mains frequency is also different (50 Hz vs 60 Hz). This rarely matters for electronics but can affect motor-driven devices like clocks and shavers.
