Travel plug Oman 🇴🇲

Do you need a travel adapter for Oman?

Yes, always.

Oman uses type G outlets nationwide. This British plug has three rectangular pins in a triangular shape: two horizontal pins at the bottom and one vertical earthing pin at the top. This type is completely different from the Dutch type C and F plugs, so it won't fit without an adapter.

Due to the historical British influence in the Gulf region, type G is the standard everywhere in Oman, from modern hotels in Muscat to lodges in the Wahiba Desert.

A travel adapter for Oman is necessary when you:

• bring Dutch chargers or electrical appliances
• stay in hotels, resorts or wadi camps
• make a road trip across different regions
• want to avoid being left without power on location

Which type of power outlet does Oman have?

Oman uses exclusively plug type G, the same type as in the United Kingdom, United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and other Gulf states.

You can recognise the type G outlet by:

• three rectangular pins in a triangular shape
• two horizontal pins at the bottom for live and neutral
• one vertical earthing pin at the top
• built-in safety shutters that only open when the earthing pin is inserted
• often an on/off switch next to the outlet

There are no regional differences in Oman. Whether you stay in Muscat, Salalah, Nizwa or in a desert camp, you'll encounter the same type of outlet everywhere.

Which travel adapter for Oman is best?

The best choice depends on how often you travel and what you bring.

For a one-off trip to Oman a simple type G adapter will do. It converts your Dutch plug to the right format.

For travelers visiting multiple countries in the Gulf region, a world adapter is the smarter choice. If you combine Oman with Dubai, Qatar or Saudi Arabia, a type G adapter works everywhere in this region. The Remodius World Adapter works in Oman and in 220+ other countries, with multiple USB ports so you can charge your phone, laptop and camera at the same time.

When choosing a travel adapter for Oman, look for:

• support for type G outlets
• a sturdy and earthed housing
• built-in USB and USB-C ports
• a compact size for hand luggage or desert backpack
• sufficient power for laptops and larger devices

Power and voltage in Oman

The power supply in Oman differs slightly from the Netherlands.

• Voltage: 240 volts
• Frequency: 50 Hz
• Compatible with Dutch devices: yes

The voltage in Oman is 10 volts higher than in the Netherlands (230V), but this difference is negligible. Modern Dutch devices and chargers work without problems on 240 volts. So you don't need a voltage converter. A travel adapter for Oman is enough.

When is a travel adapter for Oman essential?

An adapter is essential in Oman when using:

• phone and laptop chargers
• camera and GoPro chargers
• electric toothbrushes
• power banks and portable batteries
• headlamps and flashlights with rechargeable batteries
• portable monitors for remote work

Especially if you combine your holiday with dune bashing in the Wahiba Sands, dolphin spotting in Muscat or diving at the Daymaniyat Islands, a reliable travel adapter is handy to keep all your equipment and cameras always charged.
