Recommended Travel Adaptor for Yemen
Through our own travels and detailed testing, we’ve compared dozens of adaptors. For this destination, no one adaptor covers everything, so you’ll need a couple. These are the ones that ticked all the boxes.
Didn’t pack an adaptor? You can still grab one when you arrive. Still, it’s better to bring your own than risk paying too much for something unreliable.
Yemen is commonly combined with trips to Oman and Saudi Arabia. Worth looking into the adaptor info — the systems can vary quite a bit in the region.
Sockets in Yemen
In Yemen, you’ll find Type A, D, and G plugs and sockets.
Type A
Type A sockets have two flat parallel pins and no grounding. Unlike Type G, they don’t include an earth pin, which makes them less secure.
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.
Type G
Type G sockets have three rectangular pins arranged in a triangular pattern, with a built-in fuse for safety. They are the standard used in the United Kingdom.
Do You Need a Voltage Converter?
Voltage converters are only necessary if there’s a mismatch. In Yemen the mains supply is more or less the same as in the UK, so you’re fine.
Before using your device overseas, check the small print on the voltage label. Anything marked ‘100–240 V, 50/60 Hz’ will run without a converter, which covers most modern electronics.
Top Travel Essentials to Take With You
Packing smart is half the battle when you’re travelling. A digital scale helps you avoid overweight fees, a power bank keeps your tech ticking over, and packing cubes stop everything from ending up in a jumble. We’ve tried them all, and they’ve earned their place.
