Al-Shehhi returned to Miami on 2 May . That day , Atta and Jarrah were together , about 30 miles to the north , visiting a Department of Motor Vehicles office in Lauderdale Lakes , Florida , to get Florida driver 's licenses . In mid-July 2001 , some of the hijackers and members of the Hamburg cell gathered near Salou , Spain , for a period of a few days up to a couple of weeks . Since hotel records are sparse during some of that time , it is thought that they may have spent considerable time in and around safe houses related to the al-Qaeda leader in Spain , Imad Yarkas . After 9/11 , Spanish investigators followed the trails backwards , and the events they uncovered were chronicled in the Spanish nationwide newspaper '' El País '' . Witnesses told Spanish investigators they saw a man who resembled al-Shehhi on 17 July 2001 at the Universal Studios Port Aventura theme park next to Salou , Spain . The visitor , who was accompanied by two men , inquired about rides at the customer service counter . Witnesses indicated these companions resembled Ziad Jarrah , the later pilot on United Airlines Flight 93 , and Said Bahaji , a then 26-year-old German-Moroccan member of the al-Qaeda cell in Hamburg . Back in Germany , it had been Bahaji 's 1999 wedding during which al-Shehhi was filmed . Other witnesses elsewhere had pointed out Bahaji from photos , as one of the men they saw in Spain . But Bahaji bore a resemblance in appearance to Atta , who was traced to the same areas in Spain via hotel and travel records
