Travel adapter from Oman to Philippines

⚠️

Adapter Required

Yes — coming from Oman, you will need a travel adapter for Philippines. Oman uses Type G plugs, and Philippines uses Type A/Type B/Type C, 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.
