Travel adapter from Libya to Saudi Arabia

⚠️

Adapter Required

Yes — coming from Libya, you will need a travel adapter for Saudi Arabia. Libya uses Type C/Type F/Type L 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.
