Buy a power plug (travel) adapter
We don't sell power plug adapters. We refer you to Amazon, where you will find a great selection of travel adapters. If you travel a lot, consider buying a world travel adapter that fits multiple sockets. It will come in handy when you go abroad again.
Voltage converter needed in Egypt?
The standard voltage in Egypt (220 V) matches the voltage level your devices typically operate at in South Korea. But be aware that the frequency in Egypt differs.
- You don't need a voltage converter in Egypt.
- Be careful with the difference in frequency.
To be sure, check the label on your devices. Some devices never need a converter. If the label states 'INPUT: 100-240V, 50/60 Hz' the device can be used in every country in the world. This is common for devices with chargers like tablets/laptops, photo cameras, cell phones, toothbrushes, etc. For these devices you will only need a power plug adapter.
