Born in 2003, Nour Aboulmakarim is one of the youngest players currently sitting inside the top 50 in the World Rankings.

She started her career in 2018, at the age of just 15, and went on to reach the quarters of the Johannesburg Open a year later. That was followed with last four appearances at both the Keith Grainger Memorial UCT Squash Open Championships and the CIB El Shams - Egyptian Tour 1.

Aboulmakarim then made the last eight of the CIB Egyptian Tour 3 at the end of 2019, and featured at the CIB Black Ball Women’s Squash Open in 2020, her debut appearance at a Platinum level tournament.

Aboulmakarim returned to the Tour after its enforced suspension at the start of 2021, making the semi-finals of the first event on the Egyptian Challenger Tour. She then made the final of the Odense Open before grabbing her first victory on Tour, at the CIB Egyptian Challenger Tour 2, where she beat Kenzy Ayman in the final. After some more good results in the latter half of the year, Aboulmakarim broke into the top 70 for the first time in her career at the start of 2022.

She would go on to break into the top 40 at the end of the year, partly down to the biggest win of her career. That came in March, as she beat Chan Sin Yuk to win the Challenger 20 level Karachi Open Squash Championships, and she followed it with a runner-up finish at the University of Birmingham Open.

Aboulmakarim then started the 2022-2023 campaign with a quarter final appearance at the Open de France de Squash, her first last eight result on the PSA World Tour. She also made the last 16 at the Malaysian Open Squash Championships, and the second round of the Everbright Securities International Hong Kong Squash Open.

The Egyptian reached the second round of the J.P. Morgan Tournament of Champions in early 2023, before making the semi-finals of the Challenger 10 level RC Pro Series, her best result in the latter half of the campaign.
