According to local media reports she had no signs of injuries and was visiting the country for a week’s holiday before Monday’s tragedy.

Fellow influencer Soulayma Hneynia, who lives in Malta, raised the alarm when she was unable to reach her.

She described Farah as a “truly wonderful person, known for her kindness, generosity, and warmth”.

She used her platform to promote her fashion brand Bazarbyfaf to her more than one million Instagram followers.

Taher Toumi, an architect and interior designer, paid tribute to her on Instagram.

He wrote: “It’s true I only know you via Instagram but the pain has been deep since your departure!

“You exuded energy full of joy and life! You lived this life as it should be and you kept a trace of love towards the people who know you and those who don’t know you!

“For two days we have been looking at your photos, your videos and we are immersed in deep pain!”

One of her fans said without her, “nothing will be the same”.

Someone else remembered meeting the Instagram star, and shared their memories of her.

They wrote: “I met her once on the plane, she was very friendly, especially I jokingly remarked to her that she was small, yet in her videos she seemed tall.”

Her last post on Instagram was shared from Spilia in Mykonos and showed the influencer in a colourful pink kimono on a Greek beach.
