ECN Forum Forums General Topics of the Trade Non-US Electrical Systems & Trades "Esoteric" countries and their wiring practices?

Just been to Egypt. Everywhere, private houses, hotels, even Nile cruise ships had 2 pin sockets. Pins 19mm apart 4.8mm dia European sizes. Only saw Schuko in the airport though whether they were earthed who knows.
However most electrical equipment has moulded Schuko plugs which were plugged in so not earthed. Pretty grim really.
Voltage was measured a tad under 240v and was live and neutral.
