I don’t remember that there were problems with sockets in the UAE, in my hotel in Ajman there were either universal or European ones. But if you find English sockets in the UAE, then yes, the Cypriot adapter should fit.

We needed adapters in Sharjah. Asked at the reception. Very similar to Cypriot ones, but I'm not 100% sure

In the UAE, the adapter was a problem for us ... We lived in two hotels, they didn’t give us a Euro adapter in any of them, we had to buy it for 10 dirhams (160 rubles). Emirates standard sockets with 3 rectangular pins... I haven't been to Cyprus yet, I can't say anything about their sockets.

thanks abos161. I'll take it just in case. There will be no time on December 31 to look for an adapter. The hotel writes give, but apparently not enough for everyone.

In Cyprus, I calmly managed without an adapter, and instead of the third pin, I used a manicure stick.

My husband and I were in three Emirates, in Dubai, Sharjah and Abu Dhabi, and adapters were not required anywhere.

it all depends on the hotel. in decent hotels, built-in sockets fit euro sockets. cheap ones require an adapter.

Galina50, why would the hotel be de-energized? The third pin in the English socket is ground.

In a hotel where an adapter is needed 100%, otherwise I wouldn’t ask, I’m an experienced tourist, so it remains to find out just a little about the adapter. If I’m going somewhere for the first time, I already know where, where to go, what to eat., sometimes I even overdo it, it’s not interesting.

We bought an adapter in Cyprus, the quality was not very good.
In the UAE, two hotels needed an adapter, but we, like ollennka, used a wooden stick and everything was ok))) We had to charge a lot of equipment and one adapter would not suit us.

And my Cypriot one has been serving me for five years already, I also give friends and acquaintances to Cyprus. So it came in handy in the Emirates.
