Whether you’re planning to visit Israel for Tel Aviv Pride or just sightseeing around the country, there are a few tips that first-time travelers to Israel will want to know before setting foot there.⁠ ⁠ 1. Download the Gettr and Atraf apps before leaving home⁠ Israel doesn’t use Lyft and Uber, two of the most popular rideshare apps in the United States, but it does use Gettr, an app that can help you get a ride whenever you need it. Install the app on your smartphone and sign up for the service before leaving home. The app sends you a confirmation text during the registration process, and some phones can’t receive the text when aboard.⁠ ⁠ Also, while more Israeli men seem to prefer Grindr over Scruff, the most popular gay social app in the country is Atraf. Yet again, it’s wise to download Atraf before you leave the US. Once you’re in Israel, you’ll see many handsome men using the app to meet up and get down.⁠ #linkinbio, if you're interested in reading more.
