Feddan, qirat, sahm: the reference
Egypt's traditional land units are still the official language of deeds, tenure records, and inheritance splits. The full chain: 1 feddan = 24 qirat = 576 sahm = 333⅓ square qasaba, where a qasaba is 3.55 m, making a square qasaba 12.6025 m² — hence the precise figure: 1 feddan = 4,200.83 m², not the rounded 4,200.
That small difference (0.83 m² per feddan) compounds on large parcels and in inheritance splits: on a 50-feddan plot it exceeds 41 m² — an entire room credited to one party if the rounded figure is used. Our tool uses the same official constants our technical office applies in cadastral services.
