Current rate

1 USD = 0.385 OMR as of 2026-05-18. The Omani rial is pegged to the US dollar at 0.3845 (with a narrow band giving ~0.385 retail) — a peg in place since 1986 and one of the highest-valued currencies on earth by face value. The Central Bank of Oman defends the peg using FX reserves and disciplined fiscal coordination with the Ministry of Finance, and Oman's Vision 2040 diversification away from hydrocarbons explicitly assumes the peg continues. US-Oman flows are smaller than other GCC corridors but meaningful: Petroleum Development Oman (PDO, 60% government-owned, 34% Shell, 4% TotalEnergies, 2% Partex) drives sustained American oilfield-services and engineering spending, and Duqm Special Economic Zone has pulled in US logistics and defense interest.

❓ FAQ

USD to OMR FAQ.

Why is the Omani rial worth more than the US dollar?
Pure historical accident of how the peg was set in 1973 when Oman moved from the Gulf rupee. The high face value has no economic meaning — it just means each OMR represents more purchasing power per unit. Comparable to KWD and BHD, which are also worth more than USD for the same reason. What matters economically is the stability of the peg and the underlying reserves backing it.
How sustainable is the OMR-USD peg given Oman's fiscal pressures?
More sustainable than 2020-2022 looked. The IMF Article IV in 2024-25 was constructive: fiscal deficit narrowed to under 2% of GDP, debt-to-GDP fell from 70% (2020) toward 35%, and Moody's upgraded Oman back to investment grade in 2024. GCC partners (especially Saudi and UAE) have demonstrated willingness to backstop if needed. Peg risk is meaningfully lower than three years ago, though still higher than SAR or BHD.
Best way to send USD to Oman for PDO contractor payments?
For corporate payments: a USD SWIFT to Bank Muscat, NBO, or HSBC Oman is standard — expect 0.3-0.5% FX markup plus wire fees. For individual contractor remittance under $5K: Wise supports OMR but availability is intermittent; Western Union and Lulu Exchange have broad Oman coverage with 1-2% all-in cost. For recurring expat salary FX: ask your Omani bank for a treasury rate on amounts above $25K.
