From Antigua and Barbuda to Eritrea
When travelling from Antigua and Barbuda to Eritrea: None of your Antigua and Barbuda plug types fit in Eritrea. You will need a travel adapter. Voltage is different (110V / 220V → 230V). Check your charger label; if it doesn’t list 230V you’ll also need a voltage converter. Frequency differs (60Hz → 50Hz). Modern phone and laptop chargers are usually fine, but some clocks, motors, and appliances may behave incorrectly.
