One feddan is about 1.0378 acres. The feddan is 4,200 m², split into 24 qirat of 175 m², and the acre is 4,046.8564224 m², so a feddan is a little under 4% larger than an acre. Five feddan are about 5.19 acres, and 100 acres are about 96.35 feddan. In hectares, one feddan is exactly 0.42, which is often the easier number to work with.

Where you’ll use it
Egyptian farm holdings, land reclamation projects and crop statistics are given in feddan, while international reports and investors often use acres or hectares. Because the two units are so close, people sometimes treat a feddan as an acre. That is fine for a rough picture, but over a large project the 3.8% difference adds up: 1,000 feddan are about 1,037.8 acres.
Tip: Egyptian contracts often give area in feddan, qirat and sahm. Convert each part (1 qirat = 175 m², 1 sahm ≈ 7.29 m²) and add them before converting the total to acres.
