What is the distance considered for travel?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner asks: Is traveling from Makkah to Jeddah considered travel?

Answer:
It used to be considered travel, but now the buildings have come closer together between Makkah and Jeddah, so the distance for shortening the prayer no longer exists between them. Now, the distance between Makkah and the end of Makkah and the beginning of Jeddah is very short. What is the distance for shortening the prayer? Yes.
