Oman – a Sultanate known for being the oldest independent state in the Arab world, the Arabian Oryx & its ships.
With its constant warm desert climate, the country is not for those who do not like the sun (you would suffer, ha).
But what makes Oman an interesting travel destination compared to other Middle Eastern countries?
It has a lot to offer.
From the world-famous Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque to the Mutrah Souq bazaar.
Those who love to hike can visit the Jebel Shams or Wadi Ash Shab.
Or you can swim in the crystal-clear waters of the Bimmah Sinkhole.
Excited about your trip already? Yeah – me too.
But the Sultanate is not an inexpensive travel destination – costs can add up quickly.
That is why you should use a local SIM card when traveling to save on international roaming costs. International roaming can be expensive.
Fortunately, SIM cards are not too expensive in Oman.
You can get an Omani SIM card for 2 OMR from Omantel and Ooredoo in their stores. Red Bull MOBILE gives them for free through resellers, but a plan purchase is required. Muscat- and Salalah International Airports (MCT & SLL) sell SIM cards as well.
Omantel and Ooredoo also have tourist SIM cards offering interesting perks to short-term travelers, including international minutes and SMS.
Moreover, while Oman itself is not cheap, the cost of mobile data is not too crazy for regional standards.
In this guide, I will tell you everything you need to know about buying a SIM card in Oman. Let's do this.

What is the Best SIM Card in Oman?
If you want to buy the best SIM card in Oman, I recommend going with Ooredoo. It has the best coverage and is about as fast, and sometimes even faster, as Omantel.
So, which other SIM cards are available in Oman?
Oman has two mobile operators and one Mobile Virtual Network Operator (MVNOs) offering prepaid services easily accessible to travelers:
- Omantel (Oman Mobile)
- Ooredoo Oman (formerly Nawras)
- Vodafone Oman
- FRiENDi Mobile Oman (فرندي موبايل عمان – Ooredoo Oman MVNO)
- Red Bull MOBILE Oman (Omantel MVNO)
- Renna Mobile (Omantel MVNO)

This guide sticks to the mobile operators only and the most popular MVNOs (bolded above) to prevent information overload (at least, that is the aim – this guide is still in-depth!).
If you want to buy a SIM card from one of the unbolded MVNOs, you must do the research independently. I do not actively use MVNOs anymore because I test travel eSIMs instead, like the ones for Oman.
Anyone living in or visiting Oman can buy an Omani SIM card with no restrictions.
But you do have to comply with the SIM card registration regulations, which include showing your passport at the point of sale.

Where Can You Buy an Omani SIM Card (+Costs)?
You can get an Omani SIM card in Omantel and Ooredoo stores & Red Bull MOBILE sell its SIM cards through third-party retailers (including supermarkets). Muscat International Airport and Salalah International Airport sells SIM cards too.
You can expect to pay for the following Omani SIM cards:
- Omantel (عمانتل – Oman Mobile): 2 OMR
- Ooredoo Oman (اوریدو عمان – formerly Nawras): 2 OMR
- Red Bull MOBILE Oman: free, but plan purchase required
The following Omani mobile operators also have SIM cards targeting tourists:
- Omantel (عمانتل – Oman Mobile): 5 OMR (Tourist Pack)
- Ooredoo Oman (اوریدو عمان – formerly Nawras): 5.25 OMR & 10.50 OMR (Visitor Pack)
If you plan to buy a SIM card at an airport, the prices can be higher than those listed above – be aware of this.
Use the Wise Currency Converter tool (free) for up-to-date OMR (Omani Rial) to your currency (let's say INR – Indian Rupee) exchange rates.
For your convenience, below are some exchange rates between OMR and USD (US Dollars – Rounded):
- 1 OMR = 2.60 USD
- 10 OMR = 26 USD
- 100 OMR = 259.80 USD
But for any other currency, the Wise Currency Converter tool.
(Travel) eSIMs for Oman
(Travel) eSIMs have become extremely popular in recent years.
Especially after Apple made iPhones (14- & 15 series) sold in the United States eSIM-only, forcing its users to use eSIMs – even when abroad.
This forced mobile operators to adopt eSIM technology faster than they had planned (for the benefit of anyone wishing to use eSIMs instead of swapping SIM cards).
At the moment, no Omani mobile operator offers eSIMs to prepaid customers.
But if the Omani mobile operators did have eSIMs and you wanted to purchase an eSIM, you would need to comply with Oman's SIM card registration regulations.
Suppose you do not wish to do so for whatever reason. In that case, you may consider getting a travel eSIM for Oman.
My Oman eSIM buying guide analyzes various eSIM providers I have tested extensively worldwide (even in Oman).

You can even get eSIMs covering Oman and other countries in the Middle East, allowing you to use one eSIM in multiple destinations with just one purchase.
Or you can even get a global eSIM, which can be used in at least 100 countries worldwide.
While the Oman eSIM buying guide goes much more in-depth about your options, I do want to introduce some quickly here:
- Airalo: Omancom (Oman only), Menalink (15 countries in the Middle East and Northern Africa) & Discover+ (130 countries worldwide + up to 200 worldwide minutes & 200 worldwide SMS)
- Alosim: Oman
- Holafly: Oman (unlimited data)
- Nomad: Oman, Middle East (seven countries) & Global (109 or 139 countries, depending on the variant)
Here are some discount codes to sweeten the deal:
- Airalo: DEC15 for 15% off (if you have never bought an Airalo eSIM before). Otherwise, DEC10 for 10% off (for existing users) – only the first 3000 users can redeem either discount code)
- Alosim: PTW for 5% off (as many times as you wish for as many eSIMs as you want)
- Holafly: PHONETRAVELWIZ for 5% off (as many times as you wish for as many eSIMs as you want)
- Nomad: ADU123 for 3 USD off (on your first-ever Nomad order only)
For information about these eSIMs, such as how much the eSIMs cost and how much data you get, check out the Oman eSIM buying guide.

I discuss various eSIM options of eSIM providers for Oman in my Oman eSIM buying guide, which are:
- Airalo: Omancom (Oman only), Menalink (15 countries in the Middle East and Northern Africa) & Discover+ (130 countries worldwide + minutes and SMS) – use code DEC15 (15% off – first-time users only) or DEC10 (10% off)
