It said, "Because of the Fifa World Cup, everyone is talking about Qatar this year, but if you're looking for a break from the throng, you might want to think about traveling to one of the country's islands. Instead of being artificial like many of Qatar's islands, Purple Island has a rich history, interesting ruins, and a variety of birds and ocean."

The term "purple dye" was given to the island since it was a place where dye is produced. The excavations contain a midden that contains the remains of several crushed seashells.
