Days of Sadat (Arabic: أيام السادات) is a 2001 Egyptian biographical film about President of Egypt Anwar Al Sadat. The movie starred several prominent actors, with Ahmad Zaki as the Egyptian president. It is considered to be one of Zaki's greatest performances,[by whom?] capturing intimate details about the president in great accuracy.
