How OMR rates work

Since 1986 the Omani rial has been pegged to the US dollar at 0.384497 OMR per USD, equivalent to about 2.6008 USD per rial. Several Gulf currencies are also pegged to the dollar, while the Kuwaiti dinar is pegged to a currency basket.

This converter pulls live rates from a public API. If the API is unreachable, it uses a recent validated rate saved in this browser. Without a recent rate, only OMR and the official USD peg remain available.

Worked example

OMR 1,000 at the standard peg rate equals approximately USD 2,600.80. Going the other way, USD 1,000 equals OMR 384.497. Your provider's customer rate and fees may differ from the reference rate.

Quick formulas

OMR → currency: amount ÷ (OMR per unit of currency).
Currency → OMR: amount × (OMR per unit of currency).
USD peg: 1 USD = 0.384497 OMR (since 1986).

Frequently asked questions

What is the OMR to USD exchange rate?

Where can I get the best OMR rates?
Specialist exchange houses (Al Ansari, LuLu, Western Union) usually beat bank rates.
Are these rates suitable for FX trading?
No - these are reference rates for budgeting and remittance, not trading.
