Travel plug Sudan 🇸🇩

Do you need a travel adapter for Sudan?

Yes, in almost all cases.

Sudan uses two plug types side by side:

• Type C: two round pins, the same type as in the Netherlands. Your Dutch plug fits directly into this one.
• Type D: three round pins in a triangular shape, an older British type from the colonial period. No Dutch plug fits here without an adapter.

In modern hotels and new buildings you more often come across type C, while in older buildings, offices and regional accommodations type D is dominant. You cannot rely on that mix, so a universal travel adapter that supports both types is the safest choice.

A travel adapter for Sudan is essential when you:

• bring Dutch chargers or electrical appliances
• stay in hotels, guesthouses or local accommodations
• take a round trip through different cities and regions
• want to avoid having no power on arrival

Which socket type does Sudan have?

Sudan uses two plug types:

• Type C: two round pins, ungrounded. The same type as in the Netherlands and the rest of continental Europe
• Type D: three large round pins in a triangular shape. The same type as in India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka

Type D is the most common type in Sudan, especially in older buildings and outside the major cities. In modern hotels in Khartoum and larger cities you also regularly come across type C alongside type D.

Important: although a type C plug physically fits into a type D socket, it sits loose and is unsafe. This is not recommended. Always use the correct adapter for type D.

Which travel adapter for Sudan is best?

Because of the mix of plug types, a universal travel adapter with type D support is the smartest choice.

For a one-off trip to Sudan you could choose a specific type D adapter. But as soon as you stay in a more modern accommodation with type C, or travel on to a neighbouring country, you are left with the wrong adapter again.

For travellers who want to be sure of a working connection, a universal travel adapter with built-in type D support is the best solution. The Remodius Universal Travel Adapter includes a special Type D plug slider and works in Sudan 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 Sudan, look for:

• support for both type C and type D
• sturdy and stable housing
• built-in USB and USB-C ports
• compact size for hand luggage
• enough power for laptops and larger appliances

Power and voltage in Sudan

The power supply in Sudan is the same as in the Netherlands.

• Voltage: 230 volts
• Frequency: 50 Hz
• Compatible with Dutch appliances: yes

So you do not need a voltage converter. A travel adapter for Sudan is sufficient. Your phone, laptop, camera and other devices work without any problems.

Do bear in mind, however, that the power supply in Sudan is not always stable. Power outages occur regularly, especially outside the major cities. A good power bank is therefore always a sensible addition.

When is a travel adapter for Sudan indispensable?

An adapter is indispensable in Sudan when using:

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

Especially if you take a round trip through Sudan, with overnight stays in major cities as well as remote accommodations, a reliable travel adapter with type D support is indispensable.
