It seems to be different depending on where you live.  Where I live, it's 220V and the plug is like the pic below but other people have 110V and a Euro plug where they live!

Hi,

recent news... Viber is now non operational. Whats App and Skype are supposedly next on the list for being banned in KSA for not complying with local regulations.
Local news papers report that Whats App may be banned by the start of Ramadan (July 9, 2013)

Of course, things change daily.

Jubail has both 110V and 230V. Outlet types differ as per where you live. Most common is the US style of 110V and either German or UK style for 220V.
Multi adapters are easily available locally.
Do remember that both 110V and 220V in KSA are 60Hz unlike everywhere else where 110V is 60Hz and 220V is 50Hz (even is the rest of the Middle East)
For most electronics this should not matter (definitely not an issue at all with laptops), unless it is device which as a motor in it (eg: washing machine, dryer, microwave oven). Of ocurse if the device support both 50Hz/60Hz then you have no issues.

Regards
