We study dual AGN host galaxy morphologies at $z=2$ using the ASTRIDsimulation, selecting black hole (BH) pairs with small separation ($\Deltar<30\rm{kpc}$), high mass ($M_{\text{BH,12}}>10^7M_\odot$), and luminosity($L_{\text{bol,12}}>10^{43}\rm{erg/s}$). We kinematically decompose (usingMORDOR) $\sim1000$ dual AGN hosts into standard components - a `disk' (thin andthick disk, pseudo-bulge) and 'bulge' (bulge and halo) and definedisk-dominated galaxies by the disk-to-total $D/T\geq0.5$. In ASTRID,$60.9\pm2.1\%$ of dual AGN hosts (independent of separation) aredisk-dominated, with the $D/T$ distribution peaking at $\sim0.7$. Notably,hosts of BH pairs have similar morphologies (most either both disk orbulge-dominated). In dual-AGN hosts, the $D/T$ increases from $\sim17\% $ at$M_{\rm *}\sim 10^{9} M_{\odot}$ to $ 64\% $ for $M_{\rm *} \sim 10^{11.5}M_{\odot}$, and the pseudo-bulge is the dominant component of the disk fractionat the high mass end. Moreover, dual AGN hosts exhibit a higher fraction ofdisk/large pseudo-bulge than single-AGN hosts. The Disk-to-Total ratio isapproximately constant with BH mass or AGN luminosity. We also create mockimages of dual AGN host galaxies, employing morphological fitting softwareStatmorph to calculate morphological parameters and compare them with ourkinematic decomposition results. Around $83.3\pm2.4\%$ of galaxies displaydisk-like profiles, of which $\sim60.7\pm2.2\%$ are kinematically confirmed asdisks. Se\'rsic indices and half-mass radii of dual AGN host galaxies alignwith observational measurements from HST at $z\sim2$. Around $34\%$ areidentified as mergers from the $\text{Gini}-M_{20}$ relation. We find two dualAGN hosted by galaxies that exhibit disk-like se\'rsic index $n_{12}<1$ and$(D/T)_{12}>0.5$, which are in remarkable agreement with properties of recentlydiscovered dual quasars in disk galaxies at $z\sim 2$.
