The local craftsmen built a tower with a roof terrace called a barrage, which allowed the redirection of cool breezes to the urban agglomeration, thus providing people with added comfort. In 2002, The Fairmont Dubai, a building that reflects the Arabian tradition, looks like a 34-storey barrage. This conveys the idea of comfort even before they reach the destination.
