El Tayeb – daughter of a squash playing father, Professor Doctor 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.
She reached a career-high world ranking of five in April, 2015. 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.
This result helped her reach the WISPA top 50 for the first time, with the top twenty as the next target for El Tayeb. She says that her ambition is to play against the top five and then become one of them.
