Need to Top Up Right Now? Start Here

Without a phone handy or internet access — find the nearest Carrefour, ENOC petrol station, or Emirates NBD ATM.

Every NOL Card Top-Up Location Type in Dubai
1. Dubai Metro TVMs — 55 Stations
Every Dubai Metro station has at least one TVM — busier stations like Union, BurJuman, Burj Khalifa/Dubai Mall, and Mall of the Emirates have multiple machines. TVMs are always positioned before the fare gates at station entrances so you can top up without needing to tap in first. Operating hours match metro service hours — 05:00 to 24:00 most days.

2. RTA Customer Happiness Centres
RTA Customer Happiness Centres offer NOL top-up alongside other card services — registration, renewal, replacement. Staff-assisted, cash and card accepted. Best for when you need multiple services at one visit — not the fastest option for a quick top-up.

3. Supermarkets & Retail Outlets
Select supermarket chains across Dubai accept NOL card top-ups at customer service desks or dedicated terminals. These are useful when you are already doing grocery shopping and want to top up simultaneously. Coverage varies by branch — not all outlets of a chain participate.
| Retailer | Coverage | Payment |
|---|---|---|
| Carrefour | Most hypermarket branches — Mall of the Emirates, Deira City Centre, Dragon Mart, Al Ghurair | Cash and card |
| Spinneys | Select branches — Al Wasl, Jumeirah, Mirdif | Cash and card |
| Waitrose | Select branches — Dubai Mall, Jumeirah | Card preferred |
| LuLu Hypermarket | Select branches — Al Barsha, Qusais, International City | Cash and card |
4. Petrol Stations
ENOC (Emirates National Oil Company) and EPPCO petrol stations are among the most widely distributed top-up points outside metro stations — there are over 150 ENOC/EPPCO locations across Dubai. Top up at the convenience store counter inside the station. Most ENOC stations operate 24 hours making them one of the few physical top-up options available late at night after metro TVMs close.
5. Emirates NBD ATMs
Selected Emirates NBD ATMs include a dedicated NOL card top-up function accessible from the ATM main menu. Available to both Emirates NBD account holders and non-customers — no bank account needed, pay by debit card. Particularly useful in commercial areas where an ENBD ATM is closer than a metro station.
6. Careem App
The Careem super-app includes a NOL card recharge feature under its services section. Top up using Careem Pay credit or a linked card. Maximum top-up per transaction is AED 200 via Careem. Useful if you already use Careem for rides and prefer managing everything in one app.
