Omani Rial (OMR) to USD — Oman Parallel Market Rate
By the ETCurrency rates deskUpdated hourly from P2P & exchange-market dataHow we calculate rates
As of October 19, 2026, one US dollar costs about 0.386 OMR on the Oman parallel market, so the Omani Rial is worth roughly $2.59 each. In practical terms, 1,000 OMR ≈ $2,591 and 100,000 OMR ≈ $259,067 at the street rate, versus the official Central Bank of Oman (CBO) rate of about 0.3845 OMR per dollar.
The Omani rial is pegged to the US dollar at about 0.3845 and trades freely, so bank and street rates match.
How much is the Omani Rial worth in US dollars today?
Because the parallel market prices the dollar at about 0.386 OMR, you divide any Omani Rial amount by that figure to get its dollar value. For example, 10,000 OMR ≈ $25,907, 50,000 OMR ≈ $129,534, and 1,000,000 OMR ≈ $2,590,674. At the official rate the same Omani Rial would convert to slightly more dollars on paper — but only if you can actually access dollars at that rate.
This is why the parallel rate matters for anyone holding Omani Rial: it shows the real, market-clearing dollar value rather than an official rate that may be hard to obtain.
Why the OMR to USD street rate differs from the bank
When you convert Omani Rial to dollars at a bank, you get the official Central Bank of Oman (CBO) rate — if dollars are available. On the parallel market the dollar is dearer, driven by factors such as a fixed US-dollar peg, oil and gas revenue, open convertibility, so each Omani Rial fetches fewer dollars there.
Today that difference is a very small premium of roughly 1.2%. The larger this gap, the more the official rate overstates what your Omani Rial is really worth in dollars.
