The Dunams to Acres Converter converts area from dunams (also spelled dunam or dönüm) to acres. The modern metric dunam equals 1,000 square meters (0.1 hectares), and 1 dunam = 0.247105 acres.
The dunam is a unit of land area used extensively in the Middle East, Turkey, and parts of Southern Europe. It has historical roots in the Ottoman Empire, where it originally represented the amount of land a person could plow in one day. The modern metric dunam has been standardized to exactly 1,000 m².
This conversion is particularly important for real estate transactions, agricultural planning, and land development in Israel, Palestine, Turkey, Jordan, Lebanon, Iraq, and other countries where the dunam remains the standard unit for land measurement. International investors and developers often need to convert dunam-based land areas to acres for comparison with Western property standards.
Our converter provides results in acres, square meters, and hectares for comprehensive reference.
The formula: acres = dunams × 0.247105. The modern metric dunam = 1,000 m², and 1 acre = 4,046.8564224 m². Therefore 1 dunam = 1000/4046.8564224 = 0.247105 acres. For hectares: hectares = dunams × 0.1 (since 1 dunam = 1000 m² = 0.1 ha).
For scale: a typical residential lot in Israel is about 0.5-1 dunam (500-1000 m²). Agricultural plots range from 5-50 dunams. A football (soccer) field is about 7 dunams (7,140 m²). One acre is approximately 4.047 dunams.

1 dunam = 0.247105 acres (approximately 1/4 of an acre).
A dunam (also dönüm or donum) is a unit of land area used in the Middle East and Turkey, equal to 1,000 square meters in its modern metric form.
The dunam is used in Israel, Palestine, Turkey, Jordan, Lebanon, Iraq, Cyprus, Greece, and other countries with Ottoman historical influence.
1 acre = 4.04686 dunams.
1 hectare = 10 dunams (since 1 dunam = 1000 m² and 1 hectare = 10,000 m²).
Originally, it was the amount of land a man could plow in one day with oxen. This varied by region from 900 to 2,500 m². The modern metric dunam is standardized to 1,000 m².
Yes, the dunam is the standard unit for land transactions in Israel, Turkey, and other Middle Eastern countries.
1 dunam = 1,000 m² ≈ 1,196 square yards.
The Turkish dönüm today equals 1,000 m² (same as the metric dunam). Historically, it varied and was sometimes as large as 2,500 m².
Multiply acres by 4.04686. For example, 5 acres = 20.23 dunams.
