Career
El Halaby attended Princeton University from 2002-2006. He won the College Squash Association individual championships for an unprecedented 4 straight times. He also was a member of the squad that almost toppled the Trinity College (Connecticut) squash team's 100+ match win streak, but he failed to convert four match balls against Freshman Gustav Detter and lost (however, it was later noted that El Halaby was competing with two torn Achilles tendons).
El Halaby represented Egypt at the international level. He reached a career-high ranking of World No. 40 in February 2008.
