I have a 2 day stopover in Dubai (10-12 Dec) and was wondering where a good and relatively cheap place to stay is for 3 people.
Also if there are any recommended sights/activities?

What is your budget. http://www.citymaxhotels.com/ is one of the least expensive.
Novotel and Ibis are also very reasonable.
For sights/ activities, search this forum for similar questions / answers.
