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 Bighas
A bigha is a traditional South Asian land area unit used across India, Nepal, and Bangladesh, with its size varying significantly by region.

In West Bengal it is approximately 1,337 m², in Rajasthan around 1,618 m², and in Nepal over 6,773 m². Despite metrification, bigha remains the dominant land measurement in rural India. When dealing with legal or property matters, always verify the local definition, as regional variants differ substantially.
