Planning tips: use the countdown to book travel early, order gifts or food in time, plan time off work or school, and send greetings a day or two before Nowruz so they arrive while people are preparing.
Worked example: on Thursday, 11 March 2027 at 6:00 pm the countdown shows 9 days and 6 hours, because nine full days plus the six hours until midnight remain before Nowruz.
