Revenue
How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in Sharjah?
Gross bookings per Sharjah listing averaged AED 28,540 over the 12 months to September 2026 (United Arab Emirates average: AED 73,292), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.
In a typical year, the average Sharjah listing brings in AED 6,000 in December, its best month, and AED 3,470 in September, its slowest. The three strongest months bring in 30% 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 five times as much as a bottom-quarter one.
- Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn AED 10,500+ a month, about 3.3 times the typical property.
- Strong performers (top 25%) earn AED 6,470 or more, roughly AED 3,300 a month above the median.
- Typical properties (median) earn about AED 3,140 a month.
- Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn AED 1,270 or less, about 40% 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.
December earns about 1.7 times what September does

Sharjah Airbnb Data by Month
Latest 12 months in the September 2026 data. September's figures are still coming in, so the rows run to August.
December 2025 led on revenue. Nightly rates peaked in May 2026 and bookings in November 2025, so the best-paying month is not always the busiest or the priciest.

Profit
Is an Airbnb in Sharjah Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Sharjah Airbnb took in AED 28,540 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 AED 58,760, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about AED 3,620 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.

Estimate Your Own Sharjah Airbnb Profit
The estimate starts from Sharjah'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.

How Sharjah's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Sharjah listings are booked on 58% or more of their nights, against 35% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of AED 300 adds about AED 3,020 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge AED 440 a night or more, against a median of AED 300. 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 2,770 a year.
- Open for the busy months. In a typical year, December brings the average listing about AED 6,000, against AED 3,470 in September, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Sharjah listings average 4.63 stars, and 13% 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 4,900 a month, against AED 2,380 for the average one.
Occupancy
What Is the Airbnb Occupancy Rate in Sharjah?

Nightly rates
How Much Does an Airbnb Cost per Night in Sharjah?
The average nightly rate in Sharjah, known as ADR (average daily rate), was AED 468 over the past year, about 52% below the United Arab Emirates average of AED 980. Averaged month by month over the past two years, rates peak in May and June at about AED 440 and bottom out in September at about AED 345.
Prices span a wide range: the top 10% charge about 4.3 times the rate of the bottom quarter.
- Best-in-class properties (top 10%) charge AED 690+ a night, about 2.3 times the median.
- Strong performers (top 25%) charge AED 440 or more, about AED 140 above the median.
- Typical properties (median) charge about AED 300 a night.
- Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) charge AED 160 or less, about half of the median.

Monthly average AED 492 AED 299
The dashed line is the average of the months shown, AED 403. The 12-month ADR of AED 468 averages each listing's own rate across its whole year; the monthly points average listings month by month, so the two differ.
What Is the RevPAR for Airbnb in Sharjah?
RevPAR, or revenue per available night, divides a listing's income by every night it was open to book, so it rises with both price and bookings. In Sharjah it averaged AED 158 over the past year, from about AED 116 in a typical September to about AED 194 in a typical December.
Per open night, by tier:
- Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn AED 315+ per open night, about 2.9 times the median.
- Strong performers (top 25%) earn AED 188 or more, about AED 80 a night above the median.
- Typical properties (median) earn about AED 109 per open night.
- Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn AED 53 or less, about half of the median.

Permits
Airbnb Permits and Registration in Sharjah
None of the 725 active listings in Sharjah 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.
Registration, permit, zoning and tourist-tax rules vary by address and change often, so confirm them with the local authority before buying or listing in Sharjah.

Airbnb Amenities Linked to Higher Revenue in Sharjah
Listings in Sharjah with free on-site parking earned about 3.7 times as much a year, on average, as those without: AED 37,400 against AED 10,100.

Bigger, professionally run homes tend to carry more amenities, so these gaps reflect the kind of listing as much as the feature itself.

FAQ
Sharjah Airbnb FAQ
How much do Airbnb hosts make in Sharjah?
An active Sharjah Airbnb grossed AED 28,540 on average in the 12 months to September 2026, according to AirROI's tracking of 725 active listings. That is before cleaning, management, taxes and financing. Busier, better-run listings do far better: the top quarter took in AED 6,470 or more in a typical month.
How much can I make on Airbnb in Sharjah?
It depends most on the home's size, location and how it's run. The middle half of Sharjah listings earn between AED 1,270 and AED 6,470 in a typical month, and the top tenth AED 10,500 or more. For one home, enter its address and bedroom count in the Airbnb income calculator: it compares the home with similar listings nearby.
What is the average Airbnb occupancy rate in Sharjah?

How much does an Airbnb cost per night in Sharjah?
The average booked night in Sharjah cost AED 468 before fees. Half of listings charge between AED 160 and AED 440; a few high-priced homes pull the average above that range.
Do you need a permit for an Airbnb in Sharjah?

Is Airbnb profitable in Sharjah?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Sharjah Airbnb grossed AED 28,540 in the 12 months to September 2026, 61% below the national average of AED 73,292, counting listings open only part of the year. A listing at the top-quarter mark, run by its owner with the cleaning fee covering the cleaner and everyday costs for Airbnb's fee, utilities, supplies, upkeep and insurance, has about AED 3,620 a month left before the mortgage or rent, so a home that costs less than that to own or rent makes a profit.
