How QAR rates work

Since November 1997 Qatar Riyal has been pegged to the US Dollar at 3.6725 QAR per USD. Most Qatar currencies follow the same pattern - the Saudi Riyal, Qatari Riyal, Bahraini Dinar and Omani Rial all peg to the dollar. The Kuwaiti Dinar pegs to a basket of currencies and floats slightly.

This converter pulls live rates from a public API; if the API is unreachable it falls back to indicative rates anchored to the QAR-USD peg.

Worked example

QAR 1,000 at the standard peg rate equals USD 272.29. Going the other way, USD 1,000 equals QAR 3,672.50. Bank quotes typically include a 2-3% spread on top of these mid-market figures.

Quick formulas

QAR → currency: amount ÷ (QAR per unit of currency).
Currency → QAR: amount × (QAR per unit of currency).
USD peg: 1 USD = 3.6725 QAR (since 1997).
