Nobel-Prize winner Malala Yousafzai is in Dubai.

The Pakistani activist, who recently joined Instagram, went for the La Perle by Dragone show last night, and thought it was, “Sooooo scary”.

In a series of Instagram Stories, Yousafzai captured a few of the gravity defying stunts at the water-based show. Despite being scared by some of the daring performances, her ‘story’ made it seem like she enjoyed the evening. She then posted a picture of buildings in Dubai with no caption or indication of why she was in Dubai.

She recently went to Brazil to celebrate her 21st birthday on July 12, and became Instagram official by joining the social media platform the following day.

Yousafzai is the youngest Nobel Prize winner and is an advocate for the education of girls in Pakistan. She was shot by members of the Taliban for going to school, in 2012.

The event is promoted by a private bank and the Malala Fund, that aims to build a global movement to ensure girls at least 12 years of schooling. / AFP / Miguel SCHINCARIOL
