- What socket types are available?
Bahrain uses earthed sockets of Type G
.- Which plugs can I use?
You can only use Type G
plugs in Bahraini sockets. Notably, Type G plugs must always contain a fuse inside the plug — this is unlike any other plug model. Type G plugs are used in the United Kingdom, Ireland, Malta, Malaysia, and other countries.- Voltage and frequency
The Bahraini power grid supplies electricity at 230 volts and 50 Hz. Always check the voltage and frequency ratings of your devices before plugging them in. Many devices, such as phone chargers, are dual-voltage and can be used in Bahrain without a voltage converter. However, some devices, such as hair dryers, are often not dual-voltage and will require a voltage converter to operate safely.
