An Omani plate is yellow and split into three panels: a number of one to five digits, one or two series letters (Arabic above Latin) and the word عُمان. On current plates the letters are a series, not a region. Only the old pre-2001 plates showed a region: there the letters stood for the district of registration, e.g. A for Muscat, B for Batinah, SH for Sharqiyah.
