The Days of Sadat

Days of Sadat (Egyptian Arabic: أيام السادات) is a 2001 Egyptian biographical film about the third President of Egypt Anwar Al Sadat. The film features Ahmad Zaki as the Egyptian president. Cast includes Mervat Amin, Mona Zaki and Ahmed El Sakka. The film captured intimate details about the president. One notable characteristic of Sadat was his speech pattern, which Ahmad Zaki captured in his performance.

When the film was released in 2001, it attracted a large audience in Egypt and was ranked as one of the highest-grossing films of the year. It was Ahmed Zaki's second biographical film, following Nasser 56 (1996). Director Mohamed Khan received widespread acclaim for his direction. However, some critics claimed the film was somewhat biased, as it focused solely on Sadat's writings about himself in his book, "In Search of Self."
