Profit
Is an Airbnb in Jubail Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Jubail Airbnb took in SAR 35,922 in the 12 months to October 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about SAR 2,160 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 SAR 4,190 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the SAR 330 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about SAR 2,180 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about SAR 1,860 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.

How Jubail's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Jubail listings are booked on 30% or more of their nights, against 19% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of SAR 500 adds about SAR 5,010 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge SAR 600 a night or more, against a median of SAR 500. That is a separate ranking from the busiest quarter, so the two marks don't multiply into one listing's takings. For the average listing, a 10% higher rate on the nights it already books adds about SAR 3,560 a year.
- Open for the busy months. December brought the average listing about SAR 7,940, against SAR 1,760 in November, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Jubail listings average 4.76 stars, and 45% carry Airbnb's Guest Favorite badge, which guests can filter for.
What a listing keeps comes down to the figures this page measures: nightly rate, nights booked and the months it's open. A listing at the top-quarter mark takes in about SAR 5,750 a month, against SAR 2,990 for the average one.
