Can I use my devices in Libya?
The local supply in Libya 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.
Libya has some of the ancient world's best-preserved Roman ruins, including the spectacular sites of Leptis Magna and Sabratha, set against a vast landscape of desert and Mediterranean coastline.
There, the main plug types C, D, F and L 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 Libya uses both 127V and 230V in different areas, and the voltage can vary even within the same city. Always check the socket voltage before plugging in single-voltage appliances to avoid damage.
