Voltage converter needed in Egypt?
In Egypt the standard voltage is 220 V. You need a voltage converter in Egypt if your electric devices only operate at 100-127 V. So please check your devices before using them! Without a converter, you risk serious damage to your devices.

A voltage converter will ensure a safe input voltage level for your devices in Egypt. You can find voltage converters at Amazon. Because you also need a power plug adapter, you might want a combined plug adapter/voltage converter.
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.
