Dubai Airbnb Supply Up 86.6% as Revenue Per Listing Falls 27.6%
A supply glut has thinned every host's revenue. Price against the competition, keep your registration current, and load inventory into the December-to-January peak.
Market Pulse Radar
Dubai’s Airbnb supply surged 86.6% year over year to 20,018 active listings, while average annual revenue per listing fell 27.6% to $20,441 (AirROI, as of 31 July 2026). That is a classic oversupply squeeze: more hosts are fighting for the same guests, and nightly rates are softening as a result. Operators who hold Dubai inventory should reprice against the glut and lean into the December peak.
