Electrical Outlets / Plugs in Dubai?

Question

Hi, I am living in the USA and will move to Dubai. I was wondering what kind of electrical outlets they are using there, since I read conflicting information. Do I need an adapter and converter? Can I buy one for US-electrics there? Thank you.

Answer 1

You would definitely need an adapter. The plugs that they have there isnt like in the US that has 2 flat prongs...UAE has plugs like in the UK.

Hope this helps.

Answer 2

it's a three plug thing. But don't worry.. all the supermarkets (small or big) here carries adaptor and those plastic thing they stick on the 3-hole plugs to make it two.

They carry those extension cords also where it is multi purpose which you can stick any type of plugs. may it be a 2-flat thing, or 2-rounded or 3-plug type.... so no worries...
