The distance between the edge of Al-Ahsa and Dammam is approximately 150 kilometers, which is a travel distance that permits the traveler to avail themselves of the concessions of travel, such as shortening prayers (qasr), combining prayers (jam'), and breaking the fast (ifṭār), even if the traveler travels daily. The distance considered as travel is four burd, which is equivalent to 83 kilometers.
