Saudi Arabia.

220/230 V · 60 Hz on Type G.

The kingdom has been unifying its supply on 230 V, and the IEC records both 220 V and 230 V during the transition. Unusually for the region the frequency is 60 Hz, so mains-synchronous clocks and some motors from 50 Hz countries run fast. The socket standard is the British three-pin Type G.

The voltage window

A nominal 220 V supply may legitimately sit anywhere between 198 and 242 V (±10%); A nominal 230 V supply may legitimately sit anywhere between 207 and 253 V (±10%). Dual-voltage gear (marked 100–240 V) shrugs at all of it.

Coming here from somewhere else?

Pack an adapter — Saudi Arabia runs 220/230 V 60 Hz on Type G — and your 120 V appliances need to be dual-voltage or transformed, adapter or not.
