Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque coloring pages

Crescent moons crown every dome and minaret in this bold, simple view of the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. A big central dome sits between four slim towers, with smaller domes, a row of pointed arches and a tall arched doorway below. A tiled courtyard stretches toward the viewer in neat, roomy squares. Thick lines make it a calm first landmark for children aged about 2 to 5. Try chunky crayons: white or pale gray for the walls, gold for the crescents and soft blue for the courtyard tiles.

Two long reflecting pools frame a paved path leading straight to the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. The great mosque, which opened in 2007, shows off its central dome, rows of smaller domes, scalloped arches and two tall minarets. Palm trees, round shrubs and three puffy clouds complete the scene, and the water is marked with gentle wavy lines. It suits kids aged about 5 to 10 who enjoy buildings with lots of shapes. Color the pools turquoise and keep the mosque mostly white with gold finials for a sunny desert look.

Under carved archways and lacy floral panels, the main entrance of the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque in Abu Dhabi opens onto a long reflecting pool that mirrors its arches. Behind it rise four domes and two lattice-patterned minarets, while palms lean in from both sides. The foreground is a grid of large tiles decorated with flowers and curling stems, a nod to the mosque’s famous floral inlays. Fine lines and a full scene make this one for older kids and adults. Use colored pencils to give each floor flower a different jewel tone against cream marble.

Seen through an ornate scalloped arch, the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, glows beneath a sky packed with floral medallions. Every dome is covered in a diamond lattice, the minarets carry fine tracery, and a long colonnade with leafy columns runs down the right side. Below, a reflecting pool doubles the domes while lily-like flowers and broad leaves fill the bottom corner. This dense, edge-to-edge page is made for experienced adult colorists. Work it in fine-tip markers with a limited palette of gold, teal and ivory so the patterns stay readable. Prints on A4 or US Letter.
