From Saudi Arabia to Hungary
When travelling from Saudi Arabia to Hungary: None of your Saudi Arabia plug types fit in Hungary. You will need a travel adapter. 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.
