What occupancy rate can a Dubai holiday home expect?

Well-managed Dubai holiday homes average roughly 70-85% annual occupancy, with a market median around 73%. Prime tourist areas (Marina, Downtown, JBR, Palm) run highest, peaking November to March and softening in the hot summer. Occupancy swings heavily with location, unit type, pricing and reviews, so newer or off-pitch listings often sit lower until they build a track record.
