From Bonaire to Saudi Arabia
When travelling from Bonaire to Saudi Arabia: None of your Bonaire plug types fit in Saudi Arabia. You will need a travel adapter. Voltage is different (127V / 220V → 230V). Check your charger label; if it doesn’t list 230V you’ll also need a voltage converter. Frequency differs (50Hz → 60Hz). Modern phone and laptop chargers are usually fine, but some clocks, motors, and appliances may behave incorrectly.

About electricity in Saudi Arabia
Saudi Arabia runs on 230V/60Hz with Type G sockets in newer buildings. Older properties may still deliver 127V on some sockets. See the note above.
Grid & history
Saudi Arabia is in a long-running transition to 230V/60Hz nationwide. The Saudi Electricity Company runs a grid dominated by natural gas and oil, with ambitious solar plans under Vision 2030 (NEOM and the Sudair plant).
Availability
Reliable in cities and along the main highway corridors.
Sockets & hotels
Type G (UK-style) is the standard in new construction. Older private homes and budget hotels may still have Type A/B or hybrid sockets at the lower 127V.
Energy mix
Oil and gas dominate; solar growing under Vision 2030.
Practical tips
- A Type G adapter covers modern buildings.
- For older buildings, a universal adapter is safer.
- Voltage and outlet type can vary within the same building. Verify before plugging in heating appliances.
