Flag of Oman
The flag of Oman features a red vertical band on the hoist side that takes up about one-fourth the width of the field, and three equal horizontal bands of white, red and green adjoining the vertical band. At the top of the vertical band is the white emblem of Oman.
Where it is
Oman is grouped in Western Asia, within Roam’s Asia region. Its land-border list includes 3 countries in this atlas: Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Yemen. The source classifies it as not landlocked.
Oman has a recorded area of 309,500 square kilometres. Among the 17 countries assigned to Western Asia in this dataset, it ranks 5 by area, from largest to smallest. Iraq is immediately above it in that ordering, at 438,317 km². Syria is immediately below it, at 185,180 km². This comparison uses the source’s area figures and subregions, not a ranking of all territories.
The marker shows the atlas location. Small countries may be too small for an outline at this scale. Map boundaries are illustrative.
People, languages and currency
The World Bank records 5,494,691 people for Oman in 2025. This is the latest non-empty annual observation in Roam’s committed 2020–2025 download, rather than a live population counter. Dividing that population by the source area gives approximately 18 people per square kilometre. This calculated average does not describe how evenly people are distributed.
The language entries in the source are Arabic. They describe the dataset’s listed languages, not every language spoken by residents. The currency listed for this date is Omani Rial (OMR). Currency assignments are selected from Unicode CLDR’s date ranges for 23 October 2026; the three-letter codes identify currencies, not countries.
