Gross bookings per As Sīfah listing averaged OMR 3,843 over the 12 months to September 2026 (Muscat Governorate average: OMR 2,595), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.
The average As Sīfah listing brought in OMR 852 in December, its best month, and OMR 259 in September, its slowest. The three strongest months bring in 32% 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 5.8 times as much as a bottom-quarter one.

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 As Sīfah listing earns about OMR 405 a month, but one property can land well above or below that. The Airbnb profit calculator gives a range for a specific address, built from the comparable listings around it.
Profit
Yes, when it's run well. The average As Sīfah Airbnb took in OMR 3,843 in the 12 months to September 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about OMR 240 a month of that is left after running costs, so a home that costs less than that to own or rent makes money. A listing in the top quarter leaves about OMR 510 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the OMR 40 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about OMR 240 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about OMR 210 a month.
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.
