Is it even worth bringing them??
OK, so deciding what to leave and what to bring with us to KSA. Electrical goods, not thinking kitchen equipment. More TV's computers, (inc Laptops) not forgetting the kids 'X box' and Wee 'essentials' will they work can they be plugged in or adapted etc...
Thanks again.

Yes they will work. You will find all kind of adapters in every store and both 110V and 220V sockets, however the latest may be not everywhere.
Must to say that electric safety and proper grounding is absent here, you must buy currency tester and check everything before you touch it. Especially if you have Wee. Otherwise you can be e-shocked by your cooker or tap (because of non-grounded waterheater).

The frequency in UK is 50 Hz and in KSA 60Hz some equipment with 220 volt motors may not operate properly,
