Recommended Travel Adaptor for Mauritania
After testing numerous adaptors during real trips, one stood out. It performed best on safety, value and usability. This is the adaptor we suggest you take.
Realised abroad that you’ve left your adaptor behind? You’ll often find them in airports and shops nearby. Still, carrying your own is cheaper and more reliable.
Mauritania is often part of a trip that also includes Morocco and Senegal. Best to double-check the adaptor info before you travel.
Sockets in Mauritania
Mauritania uses Type C 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.
Do You Need a Voltage Converter?
In Mauritania there’s no call for a converter, as the voltage is near enough to the UK standard.
Don’t forget to check the voltage label on your device before use overseas. If it’s stamped ‘100–240 V, 50/60 Hz’, it’ll work in most places without a converter.
Top Travel Essentials to Take With You
It’s often the small things that make the biggest difference on a trip. A luggage scale gives you peace of mind at the airport, a power bank means you’re never left with a dead phone, and packing cubes keep everything in order. We’ve tried them ourselves, and they’ve proved their worth again and again.
