	Movies - Ayam El-Sadat

Ayam El Sadat (English: "Days of Sadat") is the biographical movie about the late president of Egypt, Mohammed Anwar El Sadat (sometimes credited simply as Anwar El-Sadat). The movie starred several prominent actors, with the late actor Ahmed Zaki as the Egyptian president. It is considered to be one of Zaki's greatest performances, capturing intimate details about the president in great accuracy. One notable characteristic of Sadat was his speech pattern, which Ahmad Zaki captured strongly in his performance.

The movie included several prominent actors of Egypt, including:

Ahmad Zaki
as President Sadat
Mona Zaki as the young Jihan Sadat
Mervat Amin as First Lady Jihan Sadat
Ahmed El Saka as Atef El Sadat, the president's brother
Mohamed El Kholi as President Gamal Abdel Nasser

Director Mohammed Khan received high praise for his directing of the movie. However, some critics claimed that the movie was a bit too biased, since it only focused on the writings of Sadat himself from his book, In Search of an Identity.

When the movie was released in 2001, it attracted an unbelievably large crowd in Egypt, ranking as one of Egypt's highest grossing movies. This was Zaki's second biographical movie, following Nasser 56.
