PM Modi’s visit to Oman is taking place on the completion of 70 years of establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries. Sultan Haitham bin Tariq of Oman visited India in December 2023. Meanwhile, the luxury life of the Sultan of Oman is also being discussed.

Sultan Haitham became the heir to the throne after Sultan Qaboos.

Sultan Haitham bin Tariq Al Said of Oman is a wonderful ruler who lives a life combining traditional Omani culture with modern luxury. He is the Sultan and Prime Minister of Oman since 11 January 2020. He came to power as per the will of his cousin Sultan Qaboos bin Said after his death.

Sultan Haitham was born on 11 October 1955 in Muscat. He studied at Pembroke College, Oxford University, and graduated from the Foreign Service Program in 1979. The Al Said dynasty has been ruling Oman for more than 300 years. Sultan Haitham is considered influenced by Western ideology and is less visible in public, but is active in strengthening the country.

Sultan Haitham has only one wife

Sultan is married to Ahad bint Abdullah. Ahad is considered a symbol of women empowerment in Oman. According to royal tradition, the Sultan has only one wife. He has four children, two sons and two daughters. The eldest son is Syed Theyazin bin Haitham, who was made the Crown Prince in 2021. Theyazin has studied at Oxford and has been the Minister of Culture, Sports and Youth. He is married to Meyyan bint Shihab Al Saeed.

Sultan living in 200 year old palace

Sultan Haitham has 6 large and traditionally designed palaces in Oman. The most prominent among these is Al Alam Palace, which is 200 years old. It is plain compared to other royal palaces, but is decorated with gold and blue walls. Its cultural importance is very high.

Royal guests staying in the 16th century palace

The Flag Palace was rebuilt as a royal residence in 1972. It is a grand white building with shining marble surfaces. The complex has guest villas with swimming pool, spa and beautiful gardens. The entire palace is surrounded and protected by the 16th century Portuguese forts Mirani and Jalali. Big guests like Britain’s Queen Elizabeth, King Charles, the Queen of the Netherlands have stayed here.

At least 9 properties of Sultan abroad

The total value of Sultan’s properties abroad is about 100 million dollars. These include houses in London and Southern England. One is the 14-acre Haselour House in Staffordshire, which has 7 bedrooms. The master bedroom has a 1785 fireplace and the dining room fireplace is made of Columbian marble.

The second property is Wonham Manor, which is worth $35 million. It was purchased in 1980, has an 800 meter long lake and pastures for deer. Former Sultan Qaboos used to spend three days a year here and spent around £750,000 on refurbishing the lake-paths.

155 meter long yacht and 7 government planes

The Sultan has a fleet of royal yachts. The largest is the Al Said yacht, which is 508 feet (155 meters) long and looks like a cruise ship. Its price is around 600 million dollars. It has 26 cabins, a fully equipped medical room (including dental room), several meeting halls, a private theater and a Jacuzzi.

The Sultan is famous for giving gifts of Rolex watches, which bear the royal dagger symbol of Oman. Former Sultan Qaboos gifted a 25 kg gold artificial model of the coronation chariot to Queen Elizabeth in 2012.

Initiative to reduce oil dependence

Despite immense wealth, Oman’s royal family is known for its simplicity and restraint compared to other Gulf countries (such as Saudi Arabia). Sultan Haitham launched Oman Vision 2040, which focuses on reducing oil dependence and strengthening the economy. He has implemented new laws for freedom of expression and religious freedom. He balances tradition and modernity and is taking the country forward.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi is on a strategic foreign visit to Jordan, Ethiopia and Oman. His journey has started from 15th December, which will continue till 18th December. During this time he has completed the journey to Jordan. At present he is present in Ethiopia and after this he will visit Oman. This visit is not limited to just formal diplomatic meetings, but is directly related to trade, investment, defense cooperation and regional stability.

With this foreign tour, a question also arises in the minds of common people that when Indian citizens go to these countries, what is the value of the Indian rupee there and what is their spending power. It is important to understand this aspect in simple language. If we first talk about Jordan, it is considered a reliable ally of India in West Asia. Thousands of Indians are involved in work and business here, due to which the relations between the two countries remain strong.

jordanian dinar price

The official currency of Jordan is the Jordanian Dinar, which is counted among the strongest currencies in the world. According to the report of Vice.com, the value of 1 Jordanian Dinar in India is Rs 128.23. According to this, if an Indian comes back to India after earning 500 rupees, then his price will be 64 thousand 115 rupees.

currency of ethiopia

The currency of Ethiopia is called Ethiopian Birr. The situation here seems completely opposite to Jordan. The Indian Rupee is in a stronger position against the Ethiopian currency. According to the report of Vice.com, the value of 1 Ethiopian Birr in India is only 0.59 paise. This is the reason why Indian businessmen and tourists are able to avail more facilities here at lower cost. According to this, if an Indian comes to India with 500 Ethiopian Birr, its price will be only Rs 293.
Currency of Oman Omani Rial

After Ethiopia, Prime Minister Modi will visit Oman. This visit is historic in many ways, as India and Oman are completing 70 years of diplomatic relations. Oman is a major partner of India in the Gulf region and a large number of Indian citizens work here. Oman’s currency Omani Rial is among the most expensive currencies in the world. For this reason, the value of Indian Rupee appears quite low here. According to the report of Vice.com, the value of 1 Omani Riyal is 236 rupees. According to this, if an Indian earns Rs 500 by going to Oman, then after coming to India its price will be Rs 1 lakh 18 thousand 154.

After marriage, the couple settled in Amman and had four children, Princesses Rahma, Sumaya and Badia, and one Prince Rashid.

Crown Princess of Jordan for 31 years

Sarwat L. Hassan was the Crown Princess of Jordan from 1968 to 1999. During this period, she did remarkable work in the fields of education, social welfare and women empowerment.

Let us tell you that Indians living in Jordan are very excited to meet and welcome the Prime Minister. People were seen waiting for PM Modi with their eyelids closed.

Enthusiasm seen among NRIs

Bharatiya Pravasi Samiti member Sanal Kumar, while talking to IANS, said that he has been living in Jordan for the last 25 years and is associated with the textile business. He told that the share of Indians in Jordan’s textile industry is about 50 percent.

He said, ‘We are a billion dollar company and employ 35,000 people here, including 7,000 Jordanians and 6,000 Indians. This country is giving us an opportunity to do great business.

‘He is a unique personality…’

Praising Prime Minister Modi, Sanal Kumar said, ‘He is a unique personality. It is difficult to describe them in words. Go to any corner of the world, as soon as you say that you are from India, people immediately take the name of Prime Minister Modi. He is a wonderful and selfless leader, who is fully committed to the development of the country.

Let us tell you that on Monday, Prime Minister Modi left for a visit to three countries: Jordan, Ethiopia and Oman. During this time, he will participate in many high-level meetings with the aim of strengthening the strategic partnership. This visit of the Prime Minister to Jordan is taking place at the invitation of King Abdullah II Ibn Al Hussein and is being considered special on the occasion of completion of 75 years of establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries.

There are many countries in the world whose currency is more valuable than the Indian rupee. The names of Kuwait, Bahrain, Dollar, Pound and Euro are included in this list. Apart from this, the value of currency of Jordan, a Muslim country, which has a population of only 1 crore 12 lakh, is also much higher than the Indian Rupee. According to the report of Vice.com, the price of 1 Jordanian Dinar (JOD) is approximately equal to Rs 126.8 in Indian currency. Whereas 1 Indian Rupee is equal to only 0.00788 Jordanian Dinar in Jordan. According to this, if an Indian earns only 800 Jordanian Dinar in Jordan, then its value in India will be Rs 1 lakh 14 thousand.

In terms of value, the Jordanian Dinar ranks very high. It is considered to be the fourth most high-value currency in international ranking. In this list, only Kuwaiti Dinar, Bahraini Dinar and Omani Rial come ahead of it, hence JOD is counted among the most stable and reliable currencies of the world.

Why is the Jordanian Dinar so expensive?

Many people think that only oil-rich countries have strong currencies, but Jordan is an exception. Despite the absence of large oil reserves here, its currency remains at a consistently high level. The biggest reason for this is its economic structure. Jordan keeps its currency pegged to the US dollar at a stable rate, which prevents sudden fluctuations in the market. Due to this stability, confidence in the currency remains strong and the risk of international investors is reduced.

Also, the Central Bank of Jordan adopts a very controlled monetary policy. The supply of currency is kept limited, so that the price of JOD does not fall over time. Jordan’s economy may be small in size, but due to it being disciplined and stable, its currency always remains at a high value.

Why is the Indian Rupee weak?

The value of the Indian Rupee is much lower against the Jordanian Dinar, as the INR is a free-floating currency. Its rates vary depending on many factors like international trade, crude oil price, global economy and political stability. This is the reason why there are more fluctuations in the rupee and its value remains relatively weak.

Who controls the Jordanian dinar?

The entire currency system of Jordan is managed by the Central Bank of Jordan. Issuing bank notes, determining the supply of coins and making currency policies. Everything is under the control of this institute. Since its formation in 1964, Jordan has achieved continued success in keeping its currency strong and stable.

Jordanian notes and coins

All notes and coins in circulation in Jordan are printed and issued by the Central Bank. This control protects its currency from uncontrolled markets and keeps the JOD among the most stable currencies in the world.
