What to pack
Plugbert recommends
Type G (UK 3-pin) adapter
You need a plug adapter. Plugs from Germany (Type C and F) don't fit the Type G sockets in Saudi Arabia. A Type G (UK 3-pin) adapter fits the listed socket families there. Socket variants can differ; check the actual outlet and adapter rating.
Tip: a "universal" travel adapter may be useful for several destinations. Check its wall-side plugs, grounding and power limits against your trip.

The destination may use a different frequency (50 → 60 Hz). Check your device's input rating for the local frequency; a plug adapter does not change it.

Plugbert's note on Saudi Arabia
Saudi Arabia standardised on Type G at 230 V / 60 Hz. Older buildings may still have US-style Type A/B sockets at 127 V.
