In this chapter, one feddan (Arabic: faddān, non-SI units of area in Egypt) = 4200 m2 = 1.038 acres = 0.42
hectare, ha = 10000 m2. It is used in Egypt, Sudan, and Syria. The feddan in Arabic means 'a yoke of oxen':
implying the area of ground that can be tilled by an animal in a certain time.
The Egyptian pound (E£ or EGP, Arabic, Genēh Ma ri) is the currency of Egypt. The ISO 4217 code is EGP.
Locally, the abbreviation LE or L.E. (stands for livre égyptienne : French for Egyptian pound) is frequently
used. E£ and £E are rarely used. In this chapter, one LE = 0.1437 $US or one $US = 6.94 LE.
