Annual pattern
Business Bay averages 78% occupancy across the year. November to March runs near capacity with peak nightly rates well above the AED 547 average; June to August softens, which is when longer 28-night bookings protect revenue.
Pushing occupancy up
Professional photography, instant book, flexible check-in and multi-channel distribution across Airbnb, Booking.com and direct are what separate a 78% unit from one sitting ten points lower.
