Travel adapter from Saudi Arabia to Kenya

No Adapter Needed

You will not need a plug adapter — Saudi Arabia and Kenya share at least one common plug shape (Type G). The mains frequency is also different (60 Hz vs 50 Hz). This rarely matters for electronics but can affect motor-driven devices like clocks and shavers.
