James Bond is back in Morocco!

British actor Daniel Craig and crew are in Tangiers, filming scenes for Spectre, the latest instalment in the James Bond series.

A photo of a cobblestone road with two children playing in front of a Moroccan villa in Tangiers was also shared on Spectre's official Twitter account.

Morocco World News reports that scenes were shot on a train in the northeastern city of Oujda and in the Moroccan desert in the southeast of the country.

Scenes from the 1987 film The Living Daylights, starring Timothy Dalton as James Bond, were also shot in Morocco. With instability in Tunisia, Morocco is actively courting Hollywood as the go-to filming destination. Vin Diesel has recently shot scenes in Ouarzazate, with the Sahara Desert standing in for Iraq.

Spectre is the name of the underworld organisation that 007 battles against across Mexico, Austria and Morocco, as a newly appointed M (played by Ralph Fiennes) wages political battles to save MI6.

The film marks director Sam Mendes' second consecutive Bond film after Skyfall, and also stars Oscar-winning actor Christoph Waltz and French actress Lea Seydoux. Italian actress Monica Bellucci, age 50, also features in the film, becoming the oldest 'Bond girl' in history.

Spectre is scheduled to be released on Nov. 6, 2015.
