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 Roods
A rood (ro) is a traditional English unit of land area equal to one quarter of an acre, or 40 square rods, approximately 1,011.71 m². Originating in medieval England, the rood was used alongside the acre and the perch for describing land ownership. The name shares its root with 'rod,' the linear unit used to measure it. While largely obsolete in modern use, roods still appear in old English legal documents, historical land surveys, and certain rural property records in England and Wales.
