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 Square Rods
A square rod (sq rd), also called a perch or square pole, equals the area of a square with sides of one rod (5.0292 m or 16.5 ft), giving approximately 25.29 m². This traditional unit was central to land surveying before the adoption of the metric system and remains embedded in legal property descriptions in the United States. There are exactly 160 square rods in one acre, and 40 square rods in one rood. Old farmland deeds and archaic land records in the UK and US frequently reference perches and square rods.
