Dubai’s peak tourism season runs from October through April, bringing a surge of visitors seeking holiday homes and short term rentals.
If you’re a landlord, this is the ideal moment to unlock the full earning potential of your property. The sooner you list, the better. This way, you can keep earning year-round.
Dubai’s peak season: A lucrative window for landlords
Dubai attracts millions of tourists and business travellers each year between October and April, with a calendar packed with international events, shopping festivals and conferences.
Mild weather and outdoor activities draw visitors to the city’s beaches, parks and open-air attractions, while major events like the Dubai Shopping Festival and Expo-related gatherings keep a steady flow of tourists coming in. At the same time, longer stays from business professionals and families help create consistent demand for well-maintained holiday homes.
Why listing your property now makes sense
Whether you’re listing for the first time or renewing your short term rental, acting now offers several advantages:
- Maximise booking opportunities: The sooner your property is available, the greater your chances of capturing these bookings.
- Benefit from premium rates: Demand typically rises through the season, allowing you to adjust nightly rates for maximum income.
- Increase occupancy: Listing your property now ensures it stays visible and competitive across booking platforms, improving overall occupancy.
- Attract long term bookings: Longer bookings from families or professionals cut out those in-between gaps and keep your property earning without interruption.
Understanding Dubai’s rental market trends
- Occupancy rates peak from October through April, often exceeding 80% for well-located properties.
- Nightly rental rates increase during peak season compared to summer months.
- Popular areas such as Dubai Marina, Downtown and Palm Jumeirah remain in high demand for short term rentals.
