From French Polynesia to Jordan
When travelling from French Polynesia to Jordan: Some of your French Polynesia plug types fit in Jordan (C). Bring a compact adapter for the others. Voltage matches at 230V, so a basic plug adapter is enough for most devices. Frequency differs (60Hz → 50Hz). Modern phone and laptop chargers are usually fine, but some clocks, motors, and appliances may behave incorrectly.

About electricity in Jordan
Jordan uses 230V/50Hz with Type C, F, and G sockets. Modern buildings often have hybrid outlets.
Grid & history
Jordan imports most of its energy and has built large solar and wind capacity in the desert (Quweira, Tafilah). Solar now provides over 20% of generation.
Availability
Reliable in Amman and tourist areas.
Sockets & hotels
Hybrid sockets accepting C, F, and G plugs are common in modern buildings. Older properties may have just one of them.
Energy mix
Solar and wind growing.
Practical tips
- A universal adapter covering C, F, and G is safest.
- Voltage is the standard 230V, and modern chargers handle it without issue.
