About the feddan
The feddan (Arabic for a yoke of oxen) is the only non-metric unit that stayed in everyday use in Egypt after metrication. It is 4,200 m², the area of a 60 m by 70 m rectangle, and it divides into 24 qirat (kirat) of 175 m², each qirat into 24 sahm of about 7.29 m².
One feddan is about 1.038 acres, slightly more than an acre, and a hectare is about 2.38 feddan. The metric equivalence of 1891 put the feddan at about 4,200.8 m²; the 4,200 m² figure used here (24 qirat of 175 m²) is the one given in the Cadastral Survey of Egypt (1907) and by the World Bank, and the two differ by 0.02%.
