It's home sweet home for the American hikers who were imprisoned for two years in Iran.

Josh Fattal and Shane Bauer returned to the U.S., landing in New York Sunday morning, after being locked up on accusations of spying.

"We will never forget the excitement of seeing our loved ones waiting for us at the foot of the plane," said freelance journalist, Bauer. "The joy of embracing them all after so long will stay with us forever."

And Fattal also thanked officials from Oman for helping to free them.

"Our deepest gratitude to his majesty (the Omani King) Sultan Qaboos for obtaining our release," he said. "We are sincerely grateful to the government of Oman for hosting us and our families.

The two were jailed after being picked up while hiking along Iran's unmarked border with Iraq.

Their companion Sarah Shourd, who is engaged to Bauer, was also jailed but gained her release almost a year ago.

Two Americans held prisoner in Iran for more than two years were freed Wednesday, RadarOnline.com is reporting.

Shane Bauer and Joshua Fattal, both 29, were released from the Evin prison in Tehran after their bail -- set at $500,000 for each man  -- was paid.

Shortly before their release, their attorney Masoud Shafiei said: “The case is over… the court has ordered that they be freed on bail."

The two American hikers who have been jailed in Iran since 2009 could be released to freedom within days, RadarOnline.com has learned.

Josh Fattal and Shane Bauer were sentenced to eight years for espionage and illegal entry last month after they were seized while hiking in the Kurdish area of northern Iraq two years ago.

In an interview with NBC's Ann Curry on Tuesday, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad called the imminent release "a humanitarian gesture."

"They illegally crossed our borders, and they were arrested by the border guards, but we tried last year to free one of the three persons, and we are also trying to make arrangements for their freedom, for the freedom of the other two," explained the President.
