In Saudi Arabia things are different. The power coming in used the
European standard of 220 volts 50 Hz. Most countries are migrating to a
230 volt standard that the E.U. is using (a compromise between England's
240 volts and Europe's 220 volts).

I was partialy correct. :-)

Saudi Arabia has both 120v 60Hz systems that use U.S. type plugs and 240v
(stated on one web site as 60Hz) systems that use in some places German
("Shucko") and in other places U.K. plugs.
