Hi Linda,
To add to what Olly says a universal adapter is a great idea as if you get the correct one it can be used virtually anywhere. A few years back I got a good one from Boots and still use it.
For the record there seems to be 4 main type of sockets which this covers.
European designed have 2 round pins and suspect this is same as Egypt, however there are two different types Northern European countries have slightly bigger pins than southern european countries so you need to know which of these they use Egypt.
The other types are both flat pin North American which the pins are vertical and Australian whic he pins are at a angle.
hope this info helps
Mick.
