A feddan (Шаблон:Lang-ar) is a unit of area used in Egypt, South Sudan, Sudan, Syria, and the Oman. In Classical Arabic, the word means 'a yoke of oxen', implying the area of ground that could be tilled by oxen in a certain time. In Egypt, the feddan is the only non-metric unit which remained in use following the adoption of the metric system. A feddan is divided into 24 kirat (Шаблон:Lang-ar, qīrāt), with one kirat equalling 175 square metres.[1]
Equivalent units
1 feddan = 24 kirat = 60 metre × 70 metre = 4200[2] square metres (m²) = 0.420 hectares = 1.037 acres[3]
In Syria, the feddan ranges from 2295 square metres (m²) to 3443 square metres (m²).
