Dubai Airport Free Zone (G13) is a Green Line station in fare zone 5, between Al Qusais and Al Nahda. Use the exact office address and visitor entrance when arranging a trip to the free-zone area.

This is not an airport terminal station

The name refers to the airport free-zone district, not a passenger check-in terminal. DXB Terminal 2 has no Metro station. Our earlier claim of a flat, signposted fifteen-minute walk from this station to Terminal 2 was not verified and has been withdrawn.

flydubai identifies Abu Hail as the nearest Metro access for Terminal 2, about 2 km away by taxi. Choose the onward road journey using the airline’s directions and RTA’s current planner rather than assuming a safe pedestrian route around the airfield. See our Terminal 2 connection guide.

Which direction to board

Towards e&, the next stops are Al Qusais and then e&. Towards Creek, the next stop is Al Nahda; the line continues through Deira to Union and later BurJuman, where you can change to the Red Line.

Office and flight planning need different checks

For a business visit, confirm the building, entrance and security arrangements with your host. For a flight, confirm the terminal on your booking, the road connection and the airline’s check-in deadline. A Metro fare or ride-time estimate does not include terminal access and queues.

Correction, 26 September 2026: removed the unsupported Terminal 2 walking route and minimum-fare taxi assurance.

Taxi & walking

Check your destination’s entrance before choosing an exit. Roads, restricted premises and the heat can make a short map distance unsuitable for walking. Follow local taxi signs or ask station staff for the designated pick-up point.
