How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in دبي?
Gross bookings per دبي listing averaged AED 70,887 over the 12 months to October 2026 (United Arab Emirates average: AED 79,488), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.
In a typical year, the average دبي listing brings in AED 17,800 in December, its best month, and AED 7,520 in June, its slowest. August runs within 1% of June, so either can be the slowest in a given year. The three strongest months bring in 34% 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 four times as much as a bottom-quarter one.
- Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn AED 23,300+ a month, about 3.2 times the typical property.
- Strong performers (top 25%) earn AED 14,100 or more, roughly AED 6,700 a month above the median.
- Typical properties (median) earn about AED 7,370 a month.
- Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn AED 3,440 or less, about half 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 دبي Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average دبي Airbnb took in AED 70,887 in the 12 months to October 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about AED 4,150 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 AED 8,020 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the AED 3,020 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about AED 4,410 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about AED 3,590 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 دبي's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of دبي listings are booked on 62% or more of their nights, against 35% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of AED 655 adds about AED 6,530 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge AED 990 a night or more, against a median of AED 655. 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 AED 6,790 a year.
- Open for the busy months. In a typical year, December brings the average listing about AED 17,800, against AED 7,520 in June, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. دبي listings average 4.64 stars, and 16% 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 AED 11,290 a month, against AED 5,910 for the average one.
