Can I use my devices in Jordan?
The local supply in Jordan is 230 V / 50 Hz. Most modern chargers for phones, laptops, cameras are dual voltage and work worldwide as long as the plug fits the socket.
- OKAY Phone, tablet, camera chargers and power banks usually support 100–240 V and can be used safely with the correct plug or adapter.
- CAUTION Laptops, game consoles and monitors often work worldwide, but always check the voltage range (100–240 V) on the power brick before plugging in.
- AVOID Single-voltage devices with heating elements (hair dryers, straighteners, kettles) can be problematic if their rated voltage does not match the local supply of 230 V.
Jordan is home to the ancient Nabataean city of Petra, the Roman ruins of Jerash, the Wadi Rum desert and the Dead Sea. Despite its small size, it is one of the most historically rich destinations in the Middle East.
There, the main plug types B, C, D, F, G and J are used and the standard supply is 230 V at 50 Hz. You will need a travel adapter because the local plug types differ from those used in your home country. Most modern devices support 100–240 V.
Tip Jordan uses a mix of type B, C, D, F, G and J sockets, and the type varies considerably between buildings and regions. A universal adapter is strongly recommended rather than a single-type adapter.
