Travel adapter from Saudi Arabia to Tanzania

No Adapter Needed

You will not need a plug adapter — Saudi Arabia and Tanzania 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.
