You have been looking at the sky while there were either street light or other types of lights near you. Go to the dark places and you'll find as many stars as in any other dark location on earth. Try going to Valleys, Secluded beaches. I guess if you are about 20 km aways from street lighting that will enable you to see all the star you wish to. Try visitinng Quriyat, Mazaray. Many other places which also happen to be nice picnic or camping spots.

It is due to the light from the stars not reaching over the Sultanate of Oman, reason - light is refracted / reflected back to the sky due to the tiny particles of dust and smoke present in the atmospheric layers in greater percentage than what is found in the atmospheric layers over India.

It is because of the time or the month you have looked up in the sky. Even in India there are times when you see very little stars. Keep looking almost everyday and you will eventualy find the right time when there will be plenty of stars.

India is having far clearer sky than the gulf area has. Gulf area is rather surrounded by deserts, so dust & sand is prominent in the sky, leading to vanishing of faintly visible stars. Where as in India, we have lush green forests, which discourage the dust occupying the skies. leading to clearer visibility.

The Arabian peninsula is subject to blowing dust, which impedes visibility of stars. There is a lot of dust, even when it does not look like there is very much.
