Tipping · 🇴🇲

Tipping in Oman

Customary: 10%. Not traditional but now normal. Service charge is common at hotels.

At restaurants

What is customary: Not expected — welcome, but nobody is counting

Worked example

On a OMR20.000 bill, 10% is OMR2.000, so you would hand over OMR22.000.

Tour guides

On a “free” walking tour, the tip is the fare: about OMR5.000 per person.

On a paid tour, 10% of the price on top.

Expected. On a wadi or desert trip the driver is tipped as well as the guide.

The money

Oman uses the Omani Rial (OMR). Today 1 GBP is 0.520007 OMR.
