El Hakim is a 1957 West German drama film directed by Rolf Thiele and starring O.W. Fischer, Michael Ande and Nadja Tiller. It was shot in Eastmancolor at the Göttingen Studios and on location in Egypt. The film's sets were designed by the art directors Wolf Englert and Ernst Richter.

Synopsis
A young Egyptian from a poor background qualifies as a doctor after studying medicine in Cairo. He becomes a successful doctor, not losing sight of his commitment to assist the poorest in society. He encounters Aziza, who falls in love with him, but he ignores her - becoming interested instead in the sophisticated Lady Avon, whose protegee he becomes. After years in London and Paris as a society doctor, he realises that Aziza was the right woman for him.
