Sockets in Sudan
Sudan uses Type C and D 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 D
Type D sockets have three large round pins in a triangular shape. Unlike Type G, they lack a fuse and the pins are round rather than rectangular.
Recommended Travel Adaptor for Sudan
We’ve tested adaptors extensively, even while travelling ourselves. Here, you can’t rely on one adaptor alone — the sockets differ too much. These are the ones we’ve found safe and dependable.
No adaptor with you and already abroad? You’re not out of options — many airports and local shops sell them. Still, bringing your own is the simplest way to avoid paying over the odds or ending up with something that barely works.
Sudan is usually visited alongside Egypt and Ethiopia. Worth checking the adaptor info — not all systems are the same in the region.
Do You Need a Voltage Converter?
You don’t need to worry about a converter in Sudan; the voltage is virtually identical to what we use in the UK.
Before you connect to the mains abroad, make sure the label says ‘100–240 V, 50/60 Hz’ — in that case, no voltage converter is needed.
Top Travel Essentials to Take With You
If you’re looking to travel smarter, these are the items to bring. A luggage scale makes sure your bag isn’t tipping the limits, a power bank gives your gadgets a second life, and packing cubes make living out of a suitcase easy. They’re small, affordable, and seriously handy.
