Nowruz and major religious holidays can affect transport and services. Verify current official notices.

Frequently asked questions

How are Islamic lunar dates handled?

They are confirmed only from an authoritative dated annual calendar and omitted when later official evidence is unavailable.

No, unless a specific authoritative notice supports the closure.
