Airbnb Occupancy Rate in Oran, Algeria, Data & Trends 2026

Over the analysis period August 2025 to July 2026, Oran ran 51% average occupancy, equal to roughly 182 booked nights a year, with an average daily rate of 47 and average monthly revenue of 688. Those rate and revenue figures are far below the European markets in this set, and the comparison is not a meaningful one: they reflect local price levels and local incomes, not underperformance.

Oran is the only Algerian market we currently track, so there is no national average to measure it against, and its figures should be read on their own terms rather than benchmarked across borders. What the numbers do say is that occupancy is respectable for a market with almost no international leisure demand, which points to a healthy domestic and business base. Revenue was down 7% year on year. With a single market and a short comparison history, that is better treated as a data point to watch than as an established trend.

Oran is Algeria's second city and its principal Mediterranean port on the western coast, and its short-term-rental demand comes from sources that have little in common with the European markets across the same sea. This is not an international leisure destination. It is a large working city whose visitors are predominantly Algerian, arriving for family, business or a domestic summer holiday.

The single most important seasonal driver is the return of the diaspora. Large Algerian communities abroad, particularly in France, travel home in the summer months, and that flow fills apartments in a way no foreign tourism does. Alongside it sits genuine business demand tied to the port, to energy-sector services and to Oran's role as the commercial centre of the west. The city itself offers the Santa Cruz fort above the bay, a well-preserved colonial-era centre, a seafront corniche and the beaches west towards Aïn El Turk, and it is the acknowledged home of raï music.

The city centre around Place du 1er Novembre and the streets behind the seafront is the most practical base, walkable to the theatre, the cathedral and the commercial district, and it serves business visitors and family travel alike. Properties near the corniche with a view over the bay carry a premium and hold occupancy across a longer part of the year than the beach areas do.

West of the city, the coastal strip through Aïn El Turk and towards Les Andalouses is the summer market proper, where domestic holidaymakers and returning families concentrate and where rates rise sharply for a short window. Around Es Sénia, proximity to the airport supports short transit stays. Elsewhere, the newer residential districts spreading inland offer larger apartments at lower entry prices and suit longer family stays rather than short leisure bookings, since guests there will need transport into the centre.
