About Feddan
A feddan (فدان) is the primary unit of land area in Egypt, Sudan, and parts of the Arab world, equal to approximately 4,200 m² (1.038 acres or 0.42 hectares). Its name derives from the Arabic word for 'yoke of oxen,' reflecting its agricultural origins - similar to the British acre. Egypt reports its cultivated farmland in millions of feddan; the fertile Nile Delta that feeds Egypt is measured in feddan. The feddan is subdivided into 24 kirats (each ~175 m²). It remains the legal standard for agricultural land registration in Egypt and Sudan.
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.
