Airbnb market data · 202612 months to September 2026
The average Airbnb in Wadi Rum Village brought in JOD 1,792 over the 12 months through September 2026, about 53% less than the Aqaba average of JOD 3,811.
The short answer

Timing matters: in October, usually the best month, the average listing earns about 6.4 times as much as in August, usually the slowest. With only 36 active listings, a few bookings can reorder the months.
With 36 active listings, Wadi Rum Village is the second-largest of 3 Aqaba markets AirROI tracks. From a year earlier, the number of active listings grew 16%.

Gross bookings per Wadi Rum Village listing averaged JOD 1,792 over the 12 months to September 2026 (Aqaba average: JOD 3,811), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.
In a typical year, the average Wadi Rum Village listing brings in JOD 493 in October, its best month, and JOD 78 in August, its slowest. January runs within 3% of August, so either can be the slowest in a given year. The three strongest months bring in 48% of a full year's revenue, where an even calendar would give any three months 25%.
In a typical month, a top-quarter listing earns at least 6.7 times as much as a bottom-quarter one.
These are monthly figures for listings active in each month. The annual average above also counts listings that operated for only part of the year, so it runs below twelve times these figures.

The dashed line is the average of the months shown, JOD 191. Each point is one month as recorded, averaged over the listings active in it. The best and slowest months in the text average each calendar month over the past two years, so they can differ from the highest and lowest points here.
Latest 12 months in the September 2026 data. September's figures are still coming in, so the rows run to August.
March 2026 led on revenue. Nightly rates peaked in September 2025 and bookings in February 2026, so the best-paying month is not always the busiest or the priciest.

Averages per active listing in each month. Highlighted: the highest-revenue month of the 12. RevPAR is the month's revenue spread over its nights, booked or not. Booking lead time is the days between booking and check-in, and length of stay the nights per booking, for stays in that month.
The typical Wadi Rum Village listing earns about JOD 72 a month, but one property can land well above or below that. The Airbnb income calculator gives a range for a specific address, built from the comparable listings around it.
Profit
Yes, when it's run well. The average Wadi Rum Village Airbnb took in JOD 1,792 in the 12 months to September 2026, an average that counts every active listing, including those open only part of the year. A listing in the top quarter took in about JOD 5,550, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about JOD 350 a month of that is left after running costs, so a home that costs less than that to own or rent makes money.
These amounts come before housing costs. Where the mortgage or rent is less each month, the difference is profit; a home owned outright keeps it all after property tax, home insurance and any building or condo fees.
