Profit
Is an Airbnb in El Zamalek Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average El Zamalek Airbnb took in E£453,797 in the 12 months to October 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about E£26,500 a month of that is left after running costs, so a home that costs less than that to own or rent makes money. A listing in the top quarter leaves about E£50,900 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the E£21,100 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about E£28,200 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about E£22,900 a month.
These amounts come before housing costs. Where the mortgage or rent is less each month, the difference is profit; a home owned outright keeps it all after property tax, home insurance and any building or condo fees.

How El Zamalek's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of El Zamalek listings are booked on 55% or more of their nights, against 35% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of E£4,485 adds about E£44,900 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge E£6,695 a night or more, against a median of E£4,485. That is a separate ranking from the busiest quarter, so the two marks don't multiply into one listing's takings. For the average listing, a 10% higher rate on the nights it already books adds about E£43,300 a year.
- Open for the busy months. January brought the average listing about E£89,900, against E£46,700 in June, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. El Zamalek listings average 4.80 stars, and 39% carry Airbnb's Guest Favorite badge, which guests can filter for.
What a listing keeps comes down to the figures this page measures: nightly rate, nights booked and the months it's open. A listing at the top-quarter mark takes in about E£72,000 a month, against E£37,800 for the average one.
