Recommended Travel Adaptor for Algeria
We’ve carried out thorough research, tested adaptors on real trips, and compared price, quality, safety features and charging speed — this is the one that came out on top.
No adaptor once you’ve landed? Airports and local shops are an option. But nothing beats the peace of mind of having your own ready to use.
Algeria is usually visited together with Tunisia and Morocco. Plug types may vary slightly, so it’s a good idea to check before you go.
Sockets in Algeria
The plug types you’ll find in Algeria are Type C and F plugs and sockets.
Type C
Type C sockets have two round pins and no grounding. Unlike Type G, they take a slimmer plug without an earth pin or fuse.
Type F
Type F sockets have two round pins with two earth clips on the side. UK Type G plugs do not fit into Type F sockets.
Do You Need a Voltage Converter?
In Algeria there’s no call for a converter, as the voltage is near enough to the UK standard.
Always check the voltage label before you plug in abroad. If it reads ‘100–240 V, 50/60 Hz’, your kit will work just fine without a converter — most modern laptops, tablets and chargers already do.
Top Travel Essentials to Take With You
Travelling can be stressful enough without the little annoyances. A luggage scale saves you from those eye-watering charges at the airport, a power bank means your phone won’t die mid-journey, and packing cubes keep everything in order. We’ve taken them on trips ourselves, and they really do make a difference.
