Oman - currency

The Omani rial (OMR) is the currency in Oman.

• Omani rial are available in notes: 1, 5, 10 and 50

• Each Omani rial is made up of 1,000 baisa, which come in coins (5, 10, 25 and 50) and notes (100 and 200).

• When you order Omani rial for your trip, make sure you get plenty as you’ll be paying with cash most of the time. Cards aren’t used much in Oman.

• Tipping is appreciated in some circumstances but it’s not a big part of Omani culture. For example, aim to tip 10% in tourist restaurants and 5 OMR for tour guides, but there’s no need to tip taxi drivers.
