How do you get to Dubai Airport Terminal 2, and where can you top up a public transport card in Dubai?
Based on 1 discussion with 3 participants · Last activity: 19 days ago
TL;DR
Terminal 2 has no metro access - you need a taxi from the city; Nol card top-up machines are mainly at the airport and the main bus station, not scattered around the city.
What the community said
Intercity buses depart from the main bus station, separate from the airport's inter-terminal transfer buses - don't confuse the two.

From the Burj Khalifa/Dubai Mall area to the airport, taking a taxi is your best option. Free shuttles only run between transit zones inside the airport. If you've already exited into the city, the only way to reach Terminal 2 is by taxi - there's no metro connection there.

Ticket/top-up machines for the transit card are reliably found at the airport and the main bus station; they're less common elsewhere on the public transport network.
