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.
About Acres
An acre is a traditional unit of land area used primarily in the United States, United Kingdom, and countries with British heritage. One acre equals 43,560 ft² or about 4,047 m². Historically based on the area a yoke of oxen could plow in one day, it remains the standard for measuring agricultural land, residential plots, and rural properties. A football field (without end zones) is roughly 1.32 acres, and most suburban house lots range from 0.25 to 1 acre.
