Gross bookings per Qantab listing averaged OMR 3,279 over the 12 months to September 2026 (Muscat Governorate average: OMR 2,595), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.
In a typical year, the average Qantab listing brings in OMR 630 in February, its best month, and OMR 308 in June, its slowest. December runs within 4% of February, so either can come out on top in a given year. 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 3.5 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 Qantab Airbnb took in OMR 3,279 in the 12 months to September 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about OMR 210 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 350 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the OMR 110 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about OMR 220 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about OMR 180 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.
