If one travels to Riyadh and enters his rest house in Thumamah, does he remain under the ruling of a traveler and shorten the prayer?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A man has a rest house outside Riyadh in Thumamah. He says: Sometimes I return from a trip outside Riyadh, and I go directly to the rest house without entering the city of Riyadh. So, am I still considered a traveler during the time I am sitting in the rest house? Knowing that, as mentioned, it is on the borders of Riyadh, not inside it?

Answer:
No, it is part of Riyadh now. Thumamah is part of Riyadh; the buildings are connected, so it is part of Riyadh. If you reach it, you have reached Riyadh. Yes.
