From Brazil to Syria
When travelling from Brazil to Syria: Some of your Brazil plug types fit in Syria (C). Bring a compact adapter for the others. 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 (60Hz → 50Hz). Modern phone and laptop chargers are usually fine, but some clocks, motors, and appliances may behave incorrectly.

About electricity in Syria
Syria is 230V/50Hz with Type C, E, F, and L sockets. An unusual mix.
Grid & history
Syria’s grid is severely damaged after years of war. Pre-war generation was a mix of gas, hydropower (from the Euphrates), and oil. Most areas now experience long daily outages.
Availability
Highly unreliable. Most accommodation runs on private generators or batteries.
Sockets & hotels
Type C, E, F, and L all in use depending on the building and era. A universal adapter is the safest choice.
Energy mix
War damage limits reliable data.
Practical tips
- A universal European adapter covering C/E/F/L is essential.
- Expect long daily outages.
- Bring high-capacity power banks.

- Do I need a voltage converter for Syria when travelling from Brazil?
- Syria runs on 230V, while Brazil uses 127V / 220V. Check your charger label for a 100 to 240V rating; if it does not list 230V you will also need a voltage converter.
- Is the electrical frequency in Syria the same as Brazil?
- Frequency in Syria is 50Hz, while Brazil uses 60Hz. Modern phone and laptop chargers handle either, but clocks, motors, and some heating appliances may behave incorrectly.
