Why is it when in movies or pictures taken, the stars are bright and they’re everywhere visible but when I look at the sky from places like Dubai or Turkey, there are no stars. Isn’t stars abundant everywhere in space and should be visible around the world with clear skies?

Light pollution is an enormous problem. The stars are far away and have to shine through the atmosphere. So it’s not that the star are gone, but they’re drowned out by all the light that inhabited areas give off.
Even hundreds of kilometers away, a city’s lights can make it harder to see the stars above you.
