Revenue

How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in Khartoum?

Gross bookings per Khartoum listing averaged SDG 2,174,149 over the 12 months to April 2025, before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.

The average Khartoum listing brought in SDG 948,000 in May, its best month, and SDG 41,900 in December, its slowest.

In a typical month, a top-quarter listing earns at least 2.6 times as much as a bottom-quarter one.

  • Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn SDG 1,350,000+ a month, about 2.4 times the typical property.
  • Strong performers (top 25%) earn SDG 863,000 or more, roughly SDG 310,000 a month above the median.
  • Typical properties (median) earn about SDG 553,000 a month.
  • Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn SDG 322,000 or less, about 58% 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.

May earned about 22.6 times what December did

Khartoum Airbnb Data by Month

Latest 12 months in the April 2025 data.

May led on revenue. Nightly rates peaked in July and bookings in October, so the best-paying month is not always the busiest or the priciest.

Profit

Is an Airbnb in Khartoum Profitable?

Yes, as extra income from a home or room you already have. The average Khartoum Airbnb took in SDG 2,174,149 in the 12 months to April 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 SDG 208,000 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.

Estimate Your Own Khartoum Airbnb Profit

The estimate starts from Khartoum's average listing, run by its owner. Change how the listing performs, who runs it and who cleans to see what is left for the mortgage or rent.

To work out the profit on one Khartoum home, with its price, its mortgage or rent and your own costs, use the Airbnb profit calculator. It starts from the comparable listings around the address.

How Khartoum's Top Earners Get There

  • More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Khartoum listings are booked on 38% or more of their nights, against 20% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of SDG 26,400 adds about SDG 264,000 in bookings.
  • Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge SDG 38,900 a night or more, against a median of SDG 26,400. 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 SDG 217,000 a year.
  • Open for the busy months. May brought the average listing about SDG 948,000, against SDG 41,900 in December, 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 SDG 283,000 a month, against SDG 181,000 for the average one.

Permits

Airbnb Permits and Registration in Khartoum

None of the 33 active listings in Khartoum display a registration, permit or license number. That doesn't mean no rules apply: some places don't ask hosts to show a number on the listing, and listing data doesn't capture every scheme.
