Gross bookings per Ouarzazate listing averaged MAD 41,436 over the 12 months to September 2026 (Drâa-Tafilalet average: MAD 32,205), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.
In a typical year, the average Ouarzazate listing brings in MAD 8,320 in April, its best month, and MAD 4,110 in January, its slowest. The three strongest months bring in 31% 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 4.8 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.

Profit
Yes, when it's run well. The average Ouarzazate Airbnb took in MAD 41,436 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 MAD 77,140, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about MAD 4,910 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.

Nightly rates
The average nightly rate in Ouarzazate, known as ADR (average daily rate), was MAD 622 over the past year, about the same as the Drâa-Tafilalet average (MAD 625) and about 42% below the Morocco average of MAD 1,075.

RevPAR, or revenue per available night, divides a listing's income by every night it was open to book, so it rises with both price and bookings. In Ouarzazate it averaged MAD 177 over the past year, from about MAD 132 in a typical January to about MAD 277 in a typical April.

Permits
None of the 98 active listings in Ouarzazate display a registration, permit or license number. That doesn't mean no rules apply: some places don't ask hosts to show a number on the listing, and listing data doesn't capture every scheme.
Registration, permit, zoning and tourist-tax rules vary by address and change often, so confirm them with the local authority before buying or listing in Ouarzazate.
