Profit
Is an Airbnb in As Sayh Profitable?
Yes, as extra income from a home or room you already have. The average As Sayh Airbnb took in SAR 5,549 in the 12 months to September 2025, counting listings open only part of the year, and a listing in the top quarter, run by its owner at everyday costs, keeps about SAR 690 a month after running costs.
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 As Sayh's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of As Sayh listings are booked on 24% or more of their nights, against 11% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of SAR 265 adds about SAR 2,630 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge SAR 285 a night or more, against a median of SAR 265. 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 550 a year.
- Open for the busy months. May brought the average listing about SAR 2,970, against SAR 679 in June, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
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 940 a month, against SAR 460 for the average one.
