All about Qatari currency

A quick guide to money in Qatar

Imagine yourself walking along the Corniche with Doha’s skyline glittering behind you or haggling for unique treasures at a traditional market. Of course, you'll need Qatari Riyals in your wallet in order to dive into Qatar’s rich culture and world-class hospitality.

The Qatari Riyal (QAR) is the official currency of Qatar. Introduced in 1966, the Riyal replaced the Indian Rupee, and since then, it’s been a symbol of Qatar’s meteoric rise on the global stage.

Qatari notes and coins

It might be one of the wealthiest countries in the world, but you don’t need to be an oil tycoon to have a good time in Qatar.

However, you will need some Qatari cash!

The riyal is divided into 100 dirhams, with coins available in 1c, 5c, 10c, 25c and 50c denominations.

Qatari banknotes come in $1, $5, $10, $50, $100 and $500 denominations.

Fun facts about Qatari cash

Qatari Riyal notes feature designs of iconic landmarks like the Museum of Islamic Art and Al Zubarah Fort.

Travel Money Trivia - Qatar edition

Fun fact: Qatar’s economy, backed by its vast natural gas reserves, gives the Riyal a strong and stable value. Convert AUD to QAR and step into a world of luxury and culture.
Until 1966, Qatar used the Indian rupee as currency, in the form of Gulf rupees.
When India devalued the rupee in 1966, Qatar chose to introduce its own currency.
Following Dubai's entrance into the United Arab Emirates, Qatar began issuing the Qatari riyal separate from Dubai in 1973. The old notes continued to circulate in parallel for 90 days before being withdrawn.

Good to know

There are currently no restrictions on bringing QAR or foreign currency into Qatar (except for Israeli currency, which is prohibited).

Is it better to buy Qatari Riyal in Australia or in Qatar?
Should I take cash or card to Qatar?
Both! Qatar has excellent card acceptance at hotels, restaurants, shopping malls, and major attractions throughout Doha. However, you'll need Qatari Riyal cash for traditional souqs like Souq Waqif, smaller cafes, some taxis (though Uber and Careem are popular), tipping hotel staff and tour guides, and smaller businesses outside central Doha. A Travel Money Oz Currency Pass loaded with QAR gives you the best of both worlds — secure card payments plus easy ATM withdrawals when you need cash.
