The numbers
A long-term tenancy in Arabian Ranches returns AED 200,000 a year with near-zero effort. The same unit hosted at AED 1,151 a night and 62% occupancy grosses about AED 260,471, and owners on our managed programme average AED 359,450 — a 38% uplift.
The trade-offs
Short-let carries licensing, cleaning, linen and management costs, plus seasonality. Long-term gives certainty and one cheque cycle. Most Arabian Ranches owners choose short-let for the upside and flexibility to use the home themselves.
