Do you have HDR in that map?

It looks like HDR with regards to the sand.
The wall on the right could also use improvement. Try

And make sure your environmental lighting is set appropriately.

Some of those textures just don't turn out well with HDR cubemaps. It might be the textures vmt with a lack of HDR information to tone down those overbright pixels.

That just looks like the cubemaps aren't bulit to me. You did build them and restart the map, didn't you?

So, you do have cubemaps in the map, you have properly set up light_environment, you don't have HDR, you've built the cubemaps, you've restarted the map and it still doesn't work? Leaks? Do you have any leaks?

No leaks (no pointfile).
But well i tried changing up the texture and it looked fairly better. Then i tried finding better skybox/light settings... played around for 5 hrs... And here i proudly show you the result:
