Guinea-Bissau to Mauritania: Complete Plug & Adapter Guide (2026) No Adapter Needed

Heading from Guinea-Bissau to Mauritania? Plug types and voltage standards differ between countries, so a little preparation goes a long way. Here's a breakdown of what to expect at the wall socket.

Both Guinea-Bissau and Mauritania use Type C plugs, so your devices should plug right in. An adapter isn't strictly necessary for this trip.

The voltage and frequency in Mauritania (220V, 50Hz) are the same as Guinea-Bissau (220V, 50Hz), so your appliances should work without a converter.

When packing for Mauritania, bring at least one adapter per room if you're traveling with others. Airport shops often sell them at a markup, so ordering one online beforehand saves money. A small power strip from home can also multiply a single adapter into several outlets.
