Is Dubai socket European or British?

Dubai sockets use British standard plugs, which are square with three holes.

the voltage and frequency in Dubai are the same as those in China, both of which are 22V and 5HZ.

British plug, also known as BS(british standard) plug, refers to the power plug with British standard as the reference standard. British plugs can be divided into assembly type and injection type. Assembly type British plugs can be disassembled and customized freely, while injection type is generally integrated and cannot be disassembled. Common British standards in the market include BS1363, BS546, BS5733, etc., which stipulate the standards that a product must follow when entering the UK. British plugs are not only suitable for Britain itself, but also for historical reasons (such as being a British colony) other countries have adopted its standards, such as Nigeria, Tanzania, India, Pakistan, Malaysia, Singapore, Maldives, China and Hongkong.

Dubai has been influenced by Britain for a long time. On January 8, 182, the sheikh of Dubai signed a basic peace treaty (maritime peace treaty) with Britain. In 1954, Britain established a political agency in Dubai to become a protector. In 1971, with the withdrawal of the former British protector from the Persian Gulf, the geographical boundary of Dubai was redrawn. Dubai joined Abu Dhabi and five other Emirates to form the United Arab Emirates on December 2, 1971. Therefore, many of them also follow the British standards.
