Revenue
Gross bookings per Nizwa listing averaged OMR 2,786 over the 12 months to September 2026 (Oman average: OMR 2,707), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.
The average Nizwa listing brought in OMR 734 in July, its best month, and OMR 165 in September, its slowest. The three strongest months bring in 38% 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 four 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.

July 2026 led on revenue. Nightly rates peaked in August 2026 and bookings in January 2026, so the best-paying month is not always the busiest or the priciest.

Profit
Yes, when it's run well. The average Nizwa Airbnb took in OMR 2,786 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 OMR 5,340, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about OMR 330 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.

Permits
None of the 52 active listings in Nizwa 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 Nizwa.
