" ELECTRICITY
Domestic supply is 220 volts. Sockets suitable for three-pin 13 amp plugs of British standard design are the norm, however it is a good idea to bring an adapter with you just in case. Adapters can be purchased in local supermarkets. Appliances purchased in the UAE will generally have two-pin plugs attached.
they were when I lived there in Dubai, I brought a lot of stuff back when I came home eg washing machine and dishwasher, just plugged them in over here and away they went even though eldest son said it would not happen and I had wasted my time bringing them !
