Nour El Tayeb,
(born March 8, 1993 in Cairo) is a professional squash player
who represents Egypt. She reached a career-high world ranking of
eight in September, 2014. El Tayeb – daughter of a squash
playing father, Prof. Dr. Mohamed El Tayeb – she was born and
raised in Cairo and started playing at age five at the
Heliopolis Club, where she continues to be based. The highlight
of her junior career was, at age sixteen, reaching the final of
the World Juniors in 2009, beating top seed Dipika Pallikal on
the way before losing to fellow Egyptian Nour El Sherbini.
But as early as 2007 she began to show just her potential by
reaching the main draw of the Hurghada International. Since
then, despite study taking the upper hand over squash she has
continued to improve. In Alexandria in 2008 she did well against
former world champion Vanessa Atkinson before the Dutchwoman won
in five, and in the 2009 World Open upset the form book to reach
the main draw. This result helped her reach the WISPA top 50 for
the first time, with the top twenty as the next target for El
Tayeb. Yomna Dalam is the best person in Nour's life; she is the
one who influenced Nour the most. |

world champion at the age of just 13. On 28 November 2009,
Sherbini was awarded Young WISPA Squash player of the year for
the year 2009. Nour explains: 'By time I gained more confidence
and become more steady that made me able to win most of the
titles of the local tournaments in Egypt, till reaching the
British open and my first international titles. My first BJO
title was such a push for more titles starting from under 13
years old till under 15, titles in a row.
