🔌 We are often asked what kind of sockets we have in Jordan… and whether you need an adapter. So here’s the simple answer.
In Jordan, the standard voltage is 230 V and the frequency is 50 Hz.
You will mostly find these plug types:
• Type C – the two round pins (common in Europe)
• Type F – also two round pins, with side clips
• Type G – the three rectangular pins (UK style)
Many hotels, including ours, often have sockets that fit more than one type. But not all rooms and buildings are the same across the country.
So, do you need an adapter?
👉 If you are coming from most European countries, you usually do not need one.
👉 If you are coming from the UK, you may or may not need one, depending on the socket in your room.
👉 If you are coming from the USA, Canada, or other countries with different plug types, you will need an adapter.
Good news: Most modern phone chargers and laptop chargers already support 110–240V. Just check the small print on your charger to be sure. If it says “Input: 100–240V,” you are fine. You only need a plug adapter, not a voltage converter.
Our tip? Pack a small universal travel adapter. It saves stress and space.
We hope this helps you plan your trip smoothly. And if you have any other practical travel questions about Aqaba or Jordan, just ask. We are happy to help you feel at home by the Red Sea 🌊😊
