Hello,
Looking for advice and experiences of others on this forum with regards to sending money from Oman to the UK. A preliminary search on the web has revealed that there are very few foreign exchange firms that deal with OMR. I'm left with the rather expensive option of using my bank or the local commercial exchanges, both of which offer unreasonable exchange rates and service fees in the range of GBP 10 - 12.5.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

No they're not! They charge GBP 25 for a transfer to a UK-based bank!

Try one of these options:
Wire Transfer through any Bank. This usually doesn't cost much; however the transaction fees vary from country to another.
Send money through "Xpress Money" at any exchange office. This is a similar option to Western Union but much more cheaper.
