As of May 2026, Amman, Madaba, Jerash have 1,680 active Airbnb and VRBO listings. This represents a 4% decrease from the previous year.
The average Airbnb or VRBO in Amman generates JOD5K per year. High-performing properties earn JOD18K/year, while low-performing properties earn JOD2K/year. This wide disparity suggests that the market rewards specific asset types or operational strategies, as average revenue fails to capture the significant earnings potential of top-tier listings despite a general contraction in total market revenue.
Airbnb and VRBO can be profitable in Amman. Average annual revenue is JOD5K with 23% occupancy. High-performing properties earn up to JOD18K/year. The gap between average and high-performing earnings highlights a fragmented market where revenue concentration is skewed, indicating that profitability is heavily dependent on capturing niche demand rather than broad market averages.
The average occupancy rate for Airbnbs and VRBOs in Amman is 23%. This occupancy level, combined with an average nightly rate of JOD64, results in a RevPAR (revenue per available room) of JOD10 per day.
2-bedroom properties demonstrate the strongest performance in Amman, with annual revenue of JOD6K. These properties balance operating costs and rental demand most effectively in the Amman market. Property performance varies significantly by location, amenities, and management quality.
Short-term rental regulations vary by jurisdiction in the Amman area. I don't have reliable data on short-term rental regulations or enforcement practices for Amman, Madaba, and Jerash in Jordan. Jordan's STR regulatory framework at the municipal level is not well-documented in available sources, and enforcement information is particularly sparse. Always verify current regulations with local authorities and obtain necessary permits before operating a short-term rental.
The Amman Airbnb and VRBO market is currently showing balanced conditions. Supply has declined 4% year-over-year, while RevPAR has decreased 26%. This indicates balanced supply-demand dynamics. The concurrent drop in both metrics suggests that the market is recalibrating to lower demand levels, preventing an oversaturation that would otherwise exacerbate the decline in per-unit revenue.
Launch around May, 2-3 months before peak summer season (August peaks). This pre-peak timing lets you build reviews when competition is 6% lower than peak months. Avoid launching during peak season when established listings dominate, or slow months (February-March) when gaining traction is harder.
The most common amenities in Amman listings include: Washing Machine (95%), Air Conditioning (94%), Kitchen (94%), Tv (92%), Heating (83%). Amenities that boost revenue the most include Pool, Sauna, Gym, with Pool properties earning approximately 53% more (JOD17K/year vs JOD11K/year).
Monthly estimated revenue per listing in Amman over the last 12 months: May: JOD301, June: JOD296, July: JOD447, August: JOD504, September: JOD356, October: JOD351, November: JOD347, December: JOD339, January: JOD313, February: JOD185, March: JOD177, April: JOD187. These figures are based on RevPAR (revenue per available room) multiplied by the number of days in each month.
The overall average nightly rate in Amman is JOD64, up 9% year-over-year. By property size: 1-bedroom properties average JOD50/night, 2-bedroom properties average JOD76/night, 3-bedroom properties average JOD94/night, 4+ bedroom properties average JOD126/night.

Over the past year, the Amman Airbnb and VRBO market has seen the following changes: supply declined 4%, revenue per listing decreased 26%, occupancy fell 16%, average nightly rates increased 9%, and lead time decreased 28%. These shifting indicators point to a contraction where hosts are raising rates to compensate for lower occupancy, reflecting a tightening booking window and reduced overall market depth.
