Oman keeps a single standard time zone, UTC+04:00. That figure is the country’s offset from Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), the modern reference that for everyday purposes matches Greenwich Mean Time, so local clocks sit +04:00 relative to UTC before any seasonal daylight saving change.

The official currency is the Omani rial (OMR, ر.ع.).

The official language is Arabic, which is what appears on signs, documents and many of the place labels you will see on the map.
