Travel adapter from Saudi Arabia to Monaco
Compare the plug shapes, voltage and frequency in Saudi Arabia and Monaco, and find out which adapter you need before you travel.
Adapter required
Yes — coming from Saudi Arabia, you will need a travel adapter for Monaco. Saudi Arabia uses Type G plugs, and Monaco uses Type C/Type E, so the pin shapes will not fit any wall socket. 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.
Frequency differs (60 Hz vs 50 Hz). Rarely an issue for most electronics, but can affect motor-driven devices like clocks and shavers.
