United Arab Emirates to Cabo Verde: Complete Plug & Adapter Guide (2026) Adapter Needed

If you're heading to Cabo Verde from United Arab Emirates, it's worth checking the power situation before you pack. Different countries use different outlet types and electrical standards, so your devices may not plug in directly when you arrive.

Your United Arab Emirates plugs (Type G) won't fit Cabo Verde's outlets (Type C, F). You'll want to grab a universal travel adapter or one specifically designed for Cabo Verde before you depart.

The voltage and frequency in Cabo Verde (230V, 50Hz) are the same as United Arab Emirates (230V, 50Hz), so your appliances should work without a converter.

A universal travel adapter with multiple plug configurations is a smart investment if you travel frequently. For Cabo Verde specifically, look for one that supports Type C/F outlets. USB charging ports built into the adapter are a nice bonus.
