Yemen to Burkina Faso: Complete Plug & Adapter Guide (2026) Adapter Needed

Heading from Yemen to Burkina Faso? 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.

Your Yemen plugs (Type A, D, G) won't fit Burkina Faso's outlets (Type C, E). You'll want to grab a universal travel adapter or one specifically designed for Burkina Faso before you depart.

The voltage and frequency in Burkina Faso (220V, 50Hz) are close to Yemen (230V, 50Hz), so your appliances should work without a converter.

Don't forget that Burkina Faso hotel rooms sometimes have a universal shaver socket in the bathroom, but these low-wattage outlets aren't suitable for high-draw devices. For reliable charging, use the standard wall outlets with a proper adapter.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Yemen uses Type A/D/G plugs and Burkina Faso uses Type C/E. Since these are incompatible, you will need a travel adapter.
