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 Square Meters
A square meter (m²) is the SI derived unit of area, equal to the area of a square with sides of one meter. It is the standard worldwide for measuring room sizes, apartments, houses, and land plots. A king-size bed occupies about 4 m², a parking space is roughly 12-15 m², and a small apartment might be 50-60 m². This unit is fundamental in real estate, construction, architecture, and interior design globally.
