Oman primarily uses Type G plugs with three rectangular pins, the same type as those used in the United Kingdom. In some older buildings and smaller hotels, Type C sockets (two round pins) may also be found, but travellers should not rely on this. It is advisable to carry a Type G adapter for convenience.
