I have visited the Marhaba Lounge and didn't think it was worth the entry fee. The main bonus for me relating to lounge access is the availability of showers, and the Marhaba Lounge doesn't have showers. IIRC the selection of food there wasn't great either.

I use the T1 lounge where I can even though I am Gold and luckily am also invariably in Biz or First. The lounge is an older style to the usual EK lounges elsewhere but it is always very quiet, has a great smoking area upstairs and I only do not use it if my flight is departing from the end of T3 that is furthest from T1. I have never needed to try the Marhaba lounge so I cannot help there.
