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 Marlas
A marla is a traditional unit of land area used in Pakistan, India, and Bangladesh, equal to 30.25 square yards (approximately 25.29 m²) - effectively the same as one square rod. In Pakistan's land registry system, 20 marlas equal one kanal and 8 kanals equal one acre. Despite metrification, marla remains the dominant unit for measuring residential plots and urban land in Pakistan. Property listings in Lahore, Karachi, and Islamabad routinely quote plot sizes in marlas, making it essential knowledge for anyone dealing with South Asian real estate.
