"Intervision 2025 stars from Vietnam, Egypt and the UAE took the tour of Red Square in Moscow on Monday, ahead of the iconic song competition at the weekend. Footage shows Vietnamese pop singer Duc Phuc tasting ice cream in the legendary department store 'GUM', while Mustafa Saad, soloist from the Egyptian Opera House in Alexandria, posed for a photo with his family in front of the famous St Basil's Cathedral. The video also shows Saif Al-Ali listening to a tour guide. "I really love Moscow. This is the first time I came here. When I arrived in Moscow two days ago, I really loved the weather, " said Duc Phuc. Mustafa Saad added that he had long wanted to visit the centre of the Russian capital. "Red Square is one of the most famous and beautiful places in Russia. I often saw it on television, especially during the 2018 World Cup, which took place in Russia, including Moscow, as Egypt was participating. Therefore, I always had a dream to visit it. I am very happy that today this dream has come true," said the musician. The Intervision 2025 final will be held in Moscow on September 20, with representatives from 23 countries taking part. The contest will be opened by Cuban artist Zulema Iglesias Salazar. Russia's own representative, singer Shaman (aka Yaroslav Dronov), will be the ninth to take the stage with the song 'Straight to the Heart'."
