Revenue

How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in Municipality of Al Shamal?

Gross bookings per Municipality of Al Shamal listing averaged SAR 27,964 over the 12 months to September 2026 (Saudi Arabia average: SAR 20,027), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.

In a typical year, the average Municipality of Al Shamal listing brings in SAR 5,750 in December, its best month, and SAR 3,730 in April, its slowest. January runs within 2% of December, so either can come out on top in a given year. The three strongest months bring in 29% 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 5.2 times as much as a bottom-quarter one.

  • Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn SAR 11,300+ a month, about 3.8 times the typical property.
  • Strong performers (top 25%) earn SAR 6,390 or more, roughly SAR 3,500 a month above the median.
  • Typical properties (median) earn about SAR 2,940 a month.
  • Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn SAR 1,220 or less, about 41% of the median.

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

Is an Airbnb in Municipality of Al Shamal Profitable?

Yes, when it's run well. The average Municipality of Al Shamal Airbnb took in SAR 27,964 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 60,740, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about SAR 3,810 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 Municipality of Al Shamal's Top Earners Get There

  • More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Municipality of Al Shamal listings are booked on 41% or more of their nights, against 22% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of SAR 385 adds about SAR 3,850 in bookings.
  • Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge SAR 650 a night or more, against a median of SAR 385. That is a separate ranking from the busiest quarter, so the two marks don't multiply into one listing's takings.

  • Open for the busy months. In a typical year, December brings the average listing about SAR 5,750, against SAR 3,730 in April, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
  • Reviews that stand out. Municipality of Al Shamal listings average 4.75 stars, and 25% 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 5,060 a month, against SAR 2,330 for the average one.
