“Riyadh is a new short-term rental market growing fast under Vision 2030. Riyadh Season, LEAP and the Future Investment Initiative create huge spikes, and business travel fills weekdays. Licensing through the Ministry of Tourism is required, and local platforms like Gathern matter as much as the global ones.”

The moves Alaa makes first when a hotel or host in Riyadh books a session, and the errors he corrects most often. Every one is set up inside your own pricing tool, so it keeps working after the call.
Load Riyadh Season, LEAP and FII dates and price each as a premium.
List on Gathern alongside Airbnb and Booking.com.
Set weekday business rates for project and government travel.
Move Ramadan and Eid dates each year.
Confirm the Ministry of Tourism licence.

Riyadh Season opens while FII and Cityscape bring business crowds, so I raise rates near Boulevard City and KAFD and price each conference week as its own premium.
Formula E in Diriyah and LEAP keep demand strong, so I load event dates early, set two-night minimums on the key nights and keep weekday business rates firm.
Business travel slows during Ramadan, so I ease weekday prices, then lift the Eid holiday as families travel and the city fills with visitors again.
Heat builds and events thin out, so I target project contractors and relocating families with weekly and monthly rates while keeping weekend nightly prices stable.
Many residents travel abroad, so I lower floors carefully, offer monthly stays and keep a premium only on event dates that still bring visitors into the city.
One person does the thinking on your account. Choose the kind of help your property in Riyadh needs; everything is remote, 1-on-1 and scheduled in your time zone.
For Riyadh owners I review licensing, guest mix and exposure to events first. Then we decide whether your property should lean towards business weekdays, event spikes or monthly project guests. I give you a clear rate plan with the full events calendar loaded and a summer strategy that protects income when the city empties.
I set up Gathern, Airbnb, Booking.com and Expedia so weekends, events and monthly stays work the same across channels. In PriceLabs or Wheelhouse I configure the Saudi weekend, Hijri holidays and event overrides for Riyadh Season, LEAP and FII, because the tools need local rules to price this city properly.
Riyadh hotels are growing fast alongside new supply, giga-events and project travel. With a decade of five-star revenue management behind me, I help hotels build corporate rate structures, event fences and conference group pricing, and plan the quiet summer without weakening their rate position for the busy winter.

Real feedback from PriceLabs pricing strategy sessions with Alaa.
Alaa is a consummate professional! Patient, thorough, efficient and effective in communicating. He not only made savvy adjustments to my dynamic pricing strategy, but also helped me to understand the reasoning behind his methods, granting me a better understanding of the PriceLabs platform. Strong work!
Airbnb host
Alaa was fantastic, going through each of the properties I had and gave great advice and actioned a great game plan. Would highly recommend for anyone looking to enhance their pricing strategy on PriceLabs. Alaa's experience goes beyond this which makes it very beneficial to have this holistic approach.
Property manager
Alaa helped me optimize my PriceLabs settings for my Airbnb listing and was very helpful and patient with answering any questions I had. He was also able to clearly explain why he made the changes he made, and it was obvious that he had a lot of experience in this field. I will definitely be back!
Airbnb host
Yes, from the Ministry of Tourism. Alaa checks it first.
Yes, it is a major local channel. Alaa includes it in the strategy.
Not evenly. Areas near the main zones, such as Boulevard City, gain the most, while districts far away may barely move. I check where each event takes place, set premiums by distance and drive time, and avoid raising prices citywide when only a few neighbourhoods benefit.
Often yes, because many professionals arrive for project work and need a place for weeks or months. I build monthly rates that compete with serviced apartments and keep nightly pricing for event dates, so the home earns well from both groups across the year.
Yes. Alaa has optimized 100+ properties in and around Riyadh, from single Airbnb listings and small hotels to management companies running hundreds of units. Everything is remote on Zoom, scheduled in Arabia Standard Time (UTC+3).
