Can I use my UK phone charger in Qatar?

🔌
Yes – with a plug adapter

Qatar uses 240V, close to the UK's 230V, so your phone charger works normally. UK-style type G sockets are common, but you'll also find other types, so pack a universal travel adapter to be safe.

How to check your phone charger

Look for the "Input" rating on the plug, power brick or the handle near the cable:

  • 100–240V ~ 50/60Hz – works anywhere in the world with a plug adapter.
  • A switch marked 120/230 or 110/220 – dual-voltage: set it to match the country before plugging in.
  • 220–240V only – fine in Qatar.

Plugs in Qatar

Possibly. UK-style type G sockets are common, but you'll also find other types, so pack a universal travel adapter to be safe.

  • Type D: Three large round pins in a triangle
  • Type G: Three rectangular pins (the UK plug)

No. The voltage is close enough to the UK's, so you only need a plug adapter if the sockets are different.
