Sockets in Damascus
Damascus uses Type C, E, and L 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 E
Type E sockets have two round pins and a hole for the socket’s earth pin. UK Type G plugs do not fit into Type E sockets.
Type L
Type L sockets have three round pins in a single straight line. UK Type G plugs do not fit into Type L sockets.
Recommended Travel Adaptor for Damascus
Many adaptors didn’t pass our tests, but this one did. We looked at safety, durability and value for money. That’s why we confidently recommend it.
Abroad with no adaptor? You’ll find some for sale at airports and in town. Just bear in mind they’re often overpriced and not the best quality.
Damascus is usually part of a trip that also includes Lebanon and Jordan. It’s a good idea to check the adaptor info — nearby countries don’t always use the same standard.
Do You Need a Voltage Converter?
Converters only matter when voltages clash. In Damascus the supply is pretty much the same as the UK’s, so you’re sorted.
It’s worth checking your device’s voltage rating first. A label showing ‘100–240 V, 50/60 Hz’ means it’ll work abroad without a converter.
Top Travel Essentials to Take With You
The right travel gear can save you money, stress, and time. A luggage scale means no nasty shocks at check-in, a power bank keeps your phone ready for maps and tickets, and packing cubes make it easy to find what you need. We recommend them because they work.
