Two American hikers freed Wednesday from an Iranian prison have taken off from Tehran bound for Oman, their attorney and the Swiss ambassador to Tehran told CNN.

The families of Shane Bauer and Josh Fattal - as well as fellow hiker Sarah Shourd, who was freed last year on medical grounds and is Bauer's fiancee - are waiting to meet them in Oman.

"Today can only be described as the best day of our lives. We have waited for nearly 26 months for this moment and the joy and relief we feel at Shane and Josh's long-awaited freedom knows no bounds," their families said in a statement.

The two men, both 29, were convicted last month of entering Iran illegally and spying for the United States, and each was sentenced to eight years in prison. They were released after a two-year ordeal, a U.S. Official told CNN this morning.
