All about Omani currency

What countries use the Omani Rial?

The Omani Rial (OMR) is the official currency of Oman, a nation celebrated for its rich traditions and stunning landscapes.

First introduced in 1970, the Rial replaced the Gulf Rupee and has been a symbol of Oman’s economic growth and stability ever since.

Fun fact: The Omani Rial is one of the highest-valued currencies in the world, reflecting Oman’s prosperous oil-based economy and global trade connections.

Omani notes and coins

Omani coins come in denominations of 5, 10, 25, 50, and 100 baisa, while notes range from 1 to 50 Rial.

Each note showcases Oman’s unique cultural and historical heritage, featuring images of Sultan Qaboos, traditional forts, and breathtaking landscapes.

Fun facts about Omani currency

The Omani Rial was introduced in 1970 as a replacement for the Gulf Rupee, marking a new era of economic independence for Oman.

Known for its stability and high value, the Rial is a cornerstone of Oman’s financial system.

Fun fact: The baisa is the smaller unit of the Rial, with 1,000 baisa making up a single Omani Rial.

What currency is used in Oman?
The official Oman currency is the Omani Rial (OMR), also spelled Omani Riyal. Both spellings are correct and used interchangeably. The currency is abbreviated as "OMR" internationally or "ر.ع." in Arabic. You'll need Omani Rials for everyday expenses like food, transport, accommodation, and shopping throughout the Sultanate of Oman. The Rial is subdivided into 1,000 baisa, and it's one of the world's highest-valued currency units.
What does OMR stand for?
Is it better to buy Omani Rial in Australia or in Oman?
Should I take cash or card to Oman?
Both are useful! Oman has good card acceptance at modern shopping malls in Muscat like Muscat Grand Mall and Oman Avenues Mall, hotels, upscale restaurants, and international chains. However, cash is essential for many situations — traditional souqs like Muttrah Souq, smaller restaurants and cafes, roadside vendors, mountain villages, wadi entrance fees, desert camps, taxis (though ride-sharing apps exist in Muscat), and smaller businesses throughout the country. Outside of Muscat, cash is particularly important. Having Omani Rial cash ensures you can experience authentic Oman beyond the capital.
Can I convert leftover Omani Rial back to AUD?
Yes! If you've returned from Oman with leftover OMR — whether from a holiday, adventure trip, or completed work contract — bring it to any Travel Money Oz store and we'll convert it back to AUD. If you originally bought your Omani Rials from us, you may qualify for our Buy Back Bonus for even better value. Just bring your original receipt. Given the Omani Rial's high value, even small amounts of leftover OMR can convert to significant AUD.
Do I need cash in Oman?
Yes, cash is very important in Oman! While modern infrastructure in Muscat provides good card acceptance at malls, hotels, and upscale restaurants, cash is essential for much of the country. Traditional souqs like Muttrah Souq and Nizwa Souq, local restaurants, roadside fruit and date vendors, mountain villages, wadi entrance fees, desert camps, smaller businesses, taxis, and tipping all require Omani Rials. Outside of Muscat, card acceptance decreases significantly. Having OMR cash ensures you can experience authentic Omani culture and explore beyond the capital.
