Profit
Is an Airbnb in Ad Dir`iyah Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Ad Dir`iyah Airbnb took in SAR 22,101 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 SAR 48,500, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about SAR 3,060 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.

How Ad Dir`iyah's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Ad Dir`iyah listings are booked on 38% or more of their nights, against 21% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of SAR 305 adds about SAR 3,070 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge SAR 405 a night or more, against a median of SAR 305. 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 2,170 a year.
- Open for the busy months. In a typical year, July brings the average listing about SAR 4,860, against SAR 3,550 in March, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Ad Dir`iyah listings average 4.71 stars, and 17% 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 4,040 a month, against SAR 1,840 for the average one.
