About Ares
An are (a) is a metric unit of area equal to 100 square meters (10 m × 10 m). Though less commonly used today, it served as an intermediate unit between square meters and hectares in the metric system. One are equals 0.01 hectares or about 119.6 yd². It is still occasionally used in some European countries for measuring medium-sized land plots, gardens, and vineyards. The dekameter-squared (dam²) is another name for the same unit.
About Dunam
A dunam (also dönüm or donum) is a unit of land area equal to exactly 1,000 m², used across Turkey, Israel, Palestine, Jordan, Lebanon, Iraq, and former Ottoman Empire territories. One dunam equals one stremma and one decare. The modern metric dunam of 1,000 m² was standardised during the British Mandate period; older Ottoman dunams varied by region (approximately 919-1,600 m²). It remains the primary land measurement unit for agricultural and property records throughout the Middle East, with properties routinely listed in dunams in Israeli and Palestinian real estate.
