In short
One dunam is 1000 square metre, so to convert dunam to square metre you multiply by 1000, and to go back you multiply square metre by 0.001. 2 dunam is 2000 square metre, 5 is 5000 and 10 is 10000. The modern dunam is 1000 m2 exactly — a tenth of a hectare — which makes it the easiest land unit on this page to work with. That figure is the metric dunam, adopted across the region in the twentieth century; the older Ottoman dunam was about 919 m2, so historical documents and modern deeds do not agree. The dunam is used in Turkey, Israel, Palestine, Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, Iraq and the Balkans, where it is written donum, dunam, dunum or dhiraa depending on the country.
